I received my B.S. degree in electrical engineering from the Universidad de la Costa, Barranquilla, Colombia, in 2011, and my M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering from São Paulo State University (UNESP), Ilha Solteira, Brazil, in 2015 and 2021, respectively. I worked as a Postdoctoral Researcher with the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Campinas (UNICAMP) from August 2021 to November 2022, contributing to projects focused on sustainable microgrids and electromobility. Since November 2022, I have been working as a postdoctoral researcher at INESC-ID Lisboa in the R&D project EV4EU - Electric Vehicle Management for Carbon Neutrality, developing methodologies for the massive adoption of EVs and advanced charging control strategies. Since June 2024 I have led the WP2: Charging Infrastructure in the AHEAD - (AI-informed Holistic Electric Vehicles Integration Approaches for Distribution Grids) project, developing strategies for optimal EV charging station placement, grid resource management, and sustainable mobility solutions.
