Hiđź‘‹! Welcome to my personal website!
I am Pierre, PhD candidate at Pontificia Universidad Catolica de Chile. I am also a Lab Technician at Quantum Optics Laboratory at Institute of Physics and Research Associate at Health Innovation Lab from the Institute of Tropical Medicine Alexander von Humboldt.
I hold a Master’s degree in Biomedical Informatics from Universidad Peruana Cayetano Heredia and a Bachelor’s degree in Electronic Engineering from Universidad Peruana de Ciencias Aplicadas.
Research and Expertise
I have extensive experience developing experimental systems involving bacterial culture, fluid dynamics, digital manufacturing, and microfabrication. My expertise lies in the implementation and automation of scientific instrumentation—integrating optical, electronic, and mechanical components—as well as optimizing data collection and analysis workflows.
My doctoral research focuses on developing an open-source hardware platform combined with droplet microfluidics for high-throughput single-cell analysis. You can find a methodology publication and a talk related to this project. I am executing this research in Wenzel Lab and collaborating with Parot Lab at Pontificia Universidad Catolica de Chile.
