Upon coming to the United States, he found he was dissatisfied with the Shelter ESL classes and decided to push himself out of his comfort zone, teaching himself the necessary material for his courses.

Nahuel created simulations of the working principle behind these new sensors to better understand the design space in preparation for the creation of the first prototypes.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"bu-slideshow-container acosta autoplay\" id=\"bu-slideshow-container-2425\" data-slideshow-name=\"acosta\" data-slideshow-delay=\"5000\">\n<div class=\"bu-slideshow-slides\">\n<div class=\"bu-slide-container slide-caption-bottom-right\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/photonics-ret\/files\/2024\/04\/Nahuel-Acosta-Lab-Photos-1-636x424.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"aligncenter\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Before moving to Medford at 13, Nahuel Acosta grew up in Canelones, Uruguay.
