A research platform that asks which representation a hyperspectral topic model should see: 19 wordification recipes × 4 topic-model backbones × Q∈{8,16,32}, scored on a 12-axis battery across six public scenes, with a live web app and API.
A full-stack personal-finance and market-analytics app: track instruments, build watchlists and portfolios, run statistical and ML forecasts with walk-forward validation, review risk, and read FinBERT news sentiment — with LATAM coverage (IPSA + Chile macro) behind a fast, server-rendered UI.
Turns any sound into a navigable 6-dimensional universe. Audio is mapped onto seven embedding tracks — interpretable spectral features, PCA/t-SNE/UMAP projections, the Tonnetz harmonic space, YAMNet event semantics, and CLAP audio-text meaning — and rendered as a luminous 3D trajectory you can fly through, across a curated library of 102 sounds.
A local-first web app for exploring mining circuit topology, live material state, stockpile 3D structure, and historical profiler data. Built on Next.js 16 with React Three Fiber.
An interactive operator dashboard that turns weekly geotechnical risk model output into an actionable mine map. Per-extraction-point risk on a deck.gl view, aggregation layers, per-lever actionables, and printable monthly reports. A portfolio demo running on fully synthetic data.
A web-based haptic accessibility workbench enabling visually impaired users to explore 3D objects through touch, read Braille text in immersive 3D environments, and navigate a haptic desktop. The modern realization of a vision begun in 2008.
A machine learning platform for classifying minerals and estimating abundances from hyperspectral imagery (VNIR/SWIR). Compresses turnaround from days to minutes for routine mineralogical characterization.
A full-stack platform for tracking and forecasting crusher liner wear from raw 3D laser scan data through to production deployment. Replaced manual caliper measurements with automated 3D point cloud analysis.
An end-to-end ML platform for optimizing mineral processing — SAG milling, flotation, thickening — deployed across multiple mining divisions. Delivered +100 TPH throughput uplift and measurable copper recovery improvements.
Implements SOFI — a computational super-resolution technique extracting sub-diffraction spatial information from temporal fluorescence fluctuations of quantum dots. First successful SOFI implementation in Chile. Resolves ~120 nm features below the 232 nm diffraction limit.
