Professional Journey I was trained as an Industrial and Systems Engineer (bachelor’s and master’s) and worked as a Systems and Process Engineer at several startups before joining Caterpillar Inc. At CAT, I observed and interviewed engineers, manufacturing workers, and operators, documenting production tasks and processes. Using computational and mathematical models, I improved safety measures, reorganized tasks, and optimized maintenance schedules. My industry experience motivates my research on the organization of work, productivity, innovation, and the dance between technologies and the skills people use at work.
Outside the Office I enjoy playing soccer and volleyball, skiing a bit, listening to music, and cooking in my spare time. I’m an avid reader, a huge fan of coffee, ice cream, and, of course, coffee ice cream!
