Ramiro grew up in Argentina and found an early passion for mathematics as a high school student by participating in the Maths and Programming Olympiads. He obtained an undergraduate degree from La Plata University in 2009, and a PhD in mathematics from Cordoba University under the supervision of Prof. Jorge Lauret in 2013. After that, he was a postdoc in the Differential Geometry group at the University of Münster in Germany (first as a Humboldt fellow, and then as Prof. Wilking's assistant). He also spent three months at MSRI in Berkeley, California, in 2016. Since mid-2018, he has been working at the School of Maths and Physics at UQ.
