Hello, I'm Matias!!

Hello! I'm Matías. I'm a first-generation Ecuadorian college student passionate about mathematics and machine learning. I'm currently pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science with a Minor in Pure and Applied Mathematics at Stevens Institute of Technology.

I am an Undergraduate Research Assistant in the Advanced Quantum Materials Lab, working on deep learning–based Scanning Transmission Electron Microscopy (STEM) image mapping. I analyze and map structural defects in monolayer and few-layer MoS₂, using high-resolution STEM imaging to study atomic-scale features such as point defects, grain boundaries, dislocations, and edge terminations. In addition to technical research, I also mentored and led incoming freshmen as a Tutor-Counselor and RA in the STEP Bridge Summer Program, supporting, tutoring Calculus/Physics, and mentoring 53 incoming first-year students in their transition to college life and academics. I also serve as Secretary of Stevens ColorStack, supporting and representing underrepresented students in tech and leading Data Structures Wednedays nights with the current Colorstack Tech Leader.
