2024.10 - Present Senior Research Programmer
Tecnológico de Monterrey - Decision Science Center
Developing data science and machine learning models for climate action, urban development, and sustainable policy.
- Implemented system dynamics models in Python (societal collapse model, housing affordability model).
- Developed ensemble experimentation pipelines and applied unsupervised learning (GMM, KMeans) on time series outputs to identify scenario taxonomies.
- Built an XGBoost-based surrogate model to approximate SISEPUEDE outputs for faster optimization workflows.
- Engineered a PSO-based calibration pipeline for complex simulation models.
- Supported World Bank teams with mitigation pathway simulations via SISEPUEDE (CCDR reports).
- Created a hybrid forecasting framework combining Random Forest with ARIMA for CO2-equivalent emissions projections.
