PhD candidate in Physics · Advanced Nanophotonics Laboratory · Instituto de Física, UNAM
I work on the optical properties of nanostructures and strong light–matter interaction at the Advanced Nanophotonics Laboratory, where my doctoral research focuses on polaritonic lasers in microresonators — systems where photons and excitons hybridize into new quasiparticles with engineered dispersion relations. My broader research background spans theoretical mechanics, quantum chemistry, and computational physics.

I founded Ars Mathematica in 2019 — a science communication project dedicated to the visual representation of physics, mathematics, and chemistry using LaTeX, TikZ, and PGFPlots. The project has grown to 70 K+ followers on Instagram and includes an educational website with courses, figure galleries, and tutorials.
