Work
I build tools and computational studies that connect mathematical questions with interfaces, visualizations, and decisions people can examine.
01 · Live software
Ideal Momentum Jet Explorer
I built this browser application to let researchers and students explore how nozzle geometry and prescribed area growth change an ideal momentum jet.

Software
VisualBasilisk
A bridge from compact Basilisk facet manifests to reproducible visualization plans.
Software
DualSPHysics / VisualsPhysics workflow
A reproducible particle-simulation post-processing and scientific-media workflow.
Software
CIMAP
An agrometeorological-index platform in the Ensenada regional research context.
Simulations and visual stories
These cases keep Basilisk VOF, OpenFOAM, and DualSPHysics SPH results distinct while showing how I move from a physical question to a readable result.
02
Basilisk jet comparison
A two-phase VOF comparison of circular and 2:1 rectangular top-hat inlet routes.

03
Rectangular-slot OpenFOAM study
An early-time laminar VOF computational study with implemented boundary conditions, 25 native states, and phase-aware post-processing.

I have also used mathematics, computation, and measurement in university and industrial collaborations. Credits and maturity are stated on each case.
2025–2026
Physical characterization of Ensenada wine
I provide technical leadership and student mentoring in a UABC collaboration with CEVIT. An applied research program linking continuum mechanics, physical measurement, and regional industry questions, currently at the exploratory-measurement and initial concept-validation stage.
2025–2026
Wine-region microclimate data system
I provide technical direction and student mentoring for a UABC–CEVIT pilot. A reproducible pilot workflow using partial real data for agroclimatic analysis and decision-support exploration.
2005
Instrumented acoustic quality criterion for automotive fans
Under formal supervision, I led the statistical design, signal processing, frequency analysis, decision-rule formulation, and technical report. Feasibility demonstrated with real industrial samples.
2016–2017
Kyushu University–Mazda two-phase fuel-tank modeling
As a postdoctoral researcher, I contributed to modeling, implementation, simulation, verification, analysis, and technical communication. A verified numerical implementation and preliminary comparison with a simplified two-dimensional experiment.
2013–2016
Water-atomization modeling for the Japanese steel sector
Under university coordination, I contributed mathematical derivation and review, stability analysis, physical interpretation, Python implementation, literature verification, and simulation. A computational framework using reduced models, parameter studies, and industrially relevant measurements to interpret jet behavior and impact-force trends.
2017–present
KUMIAY: Japan–Mexico technical and intercultural services
As a founding partner and consultant, I connect technical and intercultural know-how, translation expertise, service methods, and professional networks. Since 2017, I have connected technical and intercultural services across Japan and Mexico through entrepreneurship.
