Hi! I'm

The CAPIBARA Collaboration is a student-led initiative aiming to launch a satellite dedicated to observing and researching the high-energy cosmos. Our mission focuses on measuring primary cosmic rays (charged particles) as well as X-ray and γ-ray emissions, providing valuable insights into the Universe's most energetic phenomena.

By studying high-energy radiation, we aim to deepen our understanding of astrophysical processes, quantum physics, and the interactions between cosmic phenomena and Earth's space environment. Our collected data will be made publicly accessible in its totality, fostering further research and collaboration in these fields and inspiring the next generation of young scientists and engineers.

We are a diverse team of high-school students passionate about both science and engineering, working together to bring this vision to life. Therefore, we are grateful for our teachers, mentors, families, and everybody supporting us in this adventure.

My role in this collaboration involves leading the CAPIBARA project, coordinating the efforts. Furthermore, I work to advance research on using the γ-ray and X-ray observatories to employ Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) as cosmological distance indicators, with the aim of refining the Hubble constant and testing the ΛCDM model.

Gen10 is a package for genomics data analysis and visualization, providing the right tools integrated into your Python code. The original goal of this package is to provide support and tools for education in high school or college, but it can be used for any applicable purpose.

The gen10 package allows to you perform a great and increasing variety of tasks from translating DNA into RNA or protein sequences, to retrieving alphafold structure predictions, simulating mutations and much more! gen10 is a powerful tool and at the same time easy-to-use for students to experiment with, learn from and create their own code. it doesn't need any software installation and can be used directly from a web browser.

I have developed notebook tutorials for coding beginners (zero coding experience required) to help students understand the basics of using the package and jump straight to learning.

Since my participation in the Youth and Science program by Fundació Catalunya La Pedrera, I became deeply interested in cosmology—the study of the Universe as a whole, including its origin, evolution, and fate. This field raises profound philosophical questions: where do we come from? where are we going to? Is the Universe (in)finite?Is time infinite? Additionally, it connects to other areas, such as galactic evolution, the high-energy universe, dark matter, and dark energy.

One of the most pressing questions in cosmology is the Hubble Tension. Since the first calculation of the Hubble-Lemaître constant (the expansion rate of the Universe), multiple methods have been developed to refine its value. However, as instrumentation and methods have improved, the results for the Hubble constant have diverged further. This constant has profound implications for the age, fate, and composition of the Universe, yet, a hundred years after its discovery, we still do not know its exact value.

In 2023, I conducted a project on recomputing the Hubble-Lemaître constant using the same methods as Hubble and Lemaître, but with modern data from the NASA IPAC NED database for redshift and the Konkonly Observatory for Cepheid magnitudes. With about 50 galaxies and nearly 4000 Cepheid stars, I recovered a value of $$72.104\pm0.065\ km s^{-1} Mpc^{-1}$$.

In the summer of 2024, I completed a two-month research stay with the Supernovae and Stellar Transients group at the Institute of Space Sciences (ICE-CSIC-IEEC), conducting a project on Type Ia supernovae (SNe) as cosmological distance indicators under the guidance of Dr. Lluís Galbany. This experience deepened my understanding of the science, enabled me to contribute to the Hostflows project, and helped me develop research skills while connecting with researchers from various fields at the institute. At this point I improved my understanding of the current status in cosmology and enhanced my coding skills exponentially.

For the last fellowship year, in summer 2025 I will be researching the potential use of Gamma-ray Bursts (GRBs), extremely powerful explosions, as standard candles up to very high redshifts (z~8) with Dr. Giancarlo Ghirlanda and Dr. Om Sharan Salafia at the Osservatorio Astronomico di Brera-Merate (INAF-Brera-Merate).

I would also like to kindly appreciate the support and enabling of all my tutors, mentors, family, and friends.
