Hi, this is Luis!

I recently graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Economics at Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú (PUCP).

I have worked on projects to assess the impact of interventions in protected areas, using quantitative and qualitative methods. Additionally, I collaborated in the automation and maintenance of data collection for a multilateral organization.

My research interests are in Impact Evaluation, Public Policy, Industrial Organization and Regulation.

Currently, I am taking a Diploma course in Data Science at the Artificial Intelligence and Computational Methods in Social Sciences Laboratory - PUCP.

I am also interested in research using Machine Learning and AI.

Awarded with the PUCP-UNSAAC Inter-University Research Fund 2023.
