Thesis: Efficient object classification using the Euler characteristic

Advisor: Tony Rieser (CONACYT-CIMAT)

I received extensive support from the Centro de Investigación en Matemáticas (CIMAT) throughout my whole undegraduate career.

A copy of my thesis is available in the webpage of the TDA (Topological Data Analysis) research group at CIMAT, Guanajuato, Mexico.

Else, you can also find a copy here.

Mario Canul (CIMAT) provided valuable code and computational insight through the whole research.

Slides of my thesis defense can be found here.

Research interests

Topological data analysis; Euler characteristic; X-ray CT scanning; image processing; plant morphology; barley inflorescence; citrus hybridization

I also have experience working in coding projects with archaeologists and astronomers.
