I started used Julia as a backup language, soon became my first and unique programming language for doing my numerical checks of my theoretical findings. My theoretical physics PhD gone easy after I known about Julia and their wonderfulness.
I relate my experience as I changed to Julia in the middle of my PhD work, an action I don’t regret at all.

I'm a theoretical physicist who is slowly evolved in an algorithm researcher. I specialize in mathematical methods in optics and mechanics, both classical and quantum paradigms. I'm currently signed at National Institute of Astrophysics, Optics and Electronics.
My current research projects are:
- Energy analysis of harmonic oscillators arrays
- Phase transitions under group theoretical approximation
- Quantum state tomography and unitary transformations
- Epistemological and ontological problems in quantum mechanics
