Cosmology
The cosmic web through the lens of graph entropy
An analysis of the cosmic web using properties of graphs. Applied the beta-skeleton graph on simulated dark matter halos and measured its graph entropy. We found the correlation between the entropy and quantities such as the cosmological parameters.

Structural analysis of massive protoclusters
An study of the structure of evolving massive protoclusters using properties of graphs to determine properties of the parent molecular cloud. Applied dendrogram to identify protostellar cores at different stages of evolution and compute its Minimum Spanning Tree. We computed quantities such as the mass segregation of the cluster and analyzed the spatial distribution of the cores.

PENTA
Participant of the mentorship program supported by the University of Cambridge and the IAU. After a competitive selection, I was one of the 33 women selected from all around the world to mentor a girl and be mentored by another woman in STEM. This program aims to create a community of empowered women by giving advice and supporting each other.
