Biography

I currently hold a full time Postdoc Scholarship at INGAR CONICET-UTN, under the supervision of Prof. Aldo Vecchietti. I am also an Assistant Lecturer at Universidad Tecnológica Nacional (UTN), Santa Fe city, in the Department of Information Systems Engineering. I received my Engineering and my PhD from the same University, with the maximum qualification, under the supervision of Prof. Aldo Vecchietti and Prof. Marcelo Montagna. I am also the founder and main co-organizer of R-Ladies Santa Fe chapter.

My research interests lie in industrial information systems and enterprise systems; as such, in that context I work with topics related to software engineering, software architecture, organisational processes, data mining and data science. I also enjoy working on inter-disciplinary teams and applying dynamic approaches to teaching. I have also been part (and currently am) part of different industry-academy collaboration projects.

Translation of 'R for Data Science' Book

(2018-present) This is a voluntary project to translate the book ‘R for Data Science’, by Hadley Wickam.

Software Engineering Contributions to Operational Research Interventions

(2017-present) This project aims to apply Software Engineering concepts, techniques and methods to Operational Research interventions. The overall goal is to assist in the development of OR models and to provide means to enhance their code quality.

Analysis, Characterization, Design and Development of APS to Optimize Manufacturing Processes

(2013-2017) My PhD Thesis project aimed to study Advanced Planning Systems (APS) from a Software Engineering (SE) point of view, aiming to bridge the current gap in research, providing sound concepts and definitions founded in current international SE standars.

Information System to Solve Industrial Planning and Scheduling Problems

(2012-2013) The goal was to develop software system prototype framework to easily integrate planning and scheduling mathematical optimization models for manufacturing processes, to Enterprise Systems. It the Thesis from my Information Systems Engineering degree.

Teaching

I teach the following courses at Universidad Tecnológica Nacional Regional Santa Fe (UTN FRSF), on the Information Systems Engineering Degree:

Database Management. Since 2018. Role: Assistant Lecturer. With: Prof. Aldo Vecchietti, Asst. Prof. Federico Pascual, Lecturer Fernanda Golobisky, Asst. Lecturers Adriana Stablum.
Software Systems to Optimize Enterprise Operations. Since 2018. Role: Lecturer, course designer, main lecturer. With: Prof. Aldo Vecchietti.
Architecture-Based Software Design. During 2016. With: Prof. Juan Carlos Ramos, Lecturer Rodrigo Bravo. I was invited to teach this course, following a dynamic teaching approach, with a syllabus designed by myself. This proposal was published on: 2018. “Project and Team-Based Strategies for Teaching Software Architecture”, in International Journal of Engineering Education.

I also have a Music Teaching BsC degree, obtained in 2006 from CREI (Centro Recreativo Estético Infantil). I certifies me to teach music to kindergarten and primary schools. My intership was passed with the maximum qualification.
