Hey! I’m Carlos, a second year Ph.D. student in the Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) Department at Rice University (Rice) where I am advised by Santiago Segarra and César A. Uribe working on topology constrained transport over networks. My interests span signal processing, topology, optimal transport, optimization, and other manifestations of applied math.

From 2017 to 2022, I was a student at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) where I received B.S. (‘21) and M.S. (‘22) degrees also in ECE. There, I was fortunate to have worked with Aswin C. Sankaranarayanan on photometric stereo and with Richard M. Stern on a variant of the cocktail party problem.

In a previous life, I interned at Adobe Research (Summer 2022) where I worked with with Kalyan Sunkavalli and Yannick Hold-Geoffroy on near-light and area-light variants of photometric stereo.
