Hector Hortua
I was graduated from the National University of Colombia with titles of physicist and Cosmologist. I have a Ph.D. and MSc. degrees in Physics and Astrophysics. The research I am currently involved in consists of the application of Deep learning into different disciplines specifically into Cosmological datasets and the study of the natural gradient to Bayesian methods and variational inference. During my Ph.D. I worked on the description for Electrodynamics in curves spacetimes, the effects of primordial magnetic fields on the Cosmic Microwave Background radiation (CMB), non-Gaussianities and the study of Taylor expansion of tensor fields on Manifolds. Furthermore, I have also been working on neutrino and CMB physics, generation of magnetic fields during inflation via minimally coupled scalar fields along with non-minimal coupling with gravity, and the effect of those fields in the electroweak baryogenesis scenario. Since 2018 I have been working at RIST as a postdoc researcher.
