I'm a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Department of Astronomy at the University of Maryland, College Park, specializing in theoretical astrophysics. My work focuses on unraveling the physics behind some of the universe's most energetic and extreme processes, with particular emphasis on cosmic rays, plasmas, and black holes. Through my research, I aim to advance our understanding of fundamental phenomena in astrophysics and contribute to the broader scientific community. 

I earned my bachelor's degree in physics from the University of Costa Rica, where I conducted research in nanotechnology, general relativity, and black hole astrophysics. After that, I moved to the United States to pursue my Master's and Ph.D. in the Department of Physics at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. During my Ph.D., I specialized in Particle Astrophysics with a minor in Plasma Astrophysics and conducted research at the Wisconsin IceCube Particle Astrophysics Center, collaborating with professors Francis Halzen and Paolo Desiati. 

In 2021, I moved to the University of Cambridge, UK, for a postdoctoral position with Prof. Chris Reynolds in the X-ray research group at the Institute of Astronomy. At the same time, I was a postdoctoral researcher at St Edmund's College, University of Cambridge. In 2023, I joined the University of Maryland, where I have continued my collaboration with Prof. Chris Reynolds.

Beyond my research, I'm deeply passionate about promoting diversity and inclusion in science. I've led numerous initiatives to increase the participation of underrepresented groups, especially within the Latinx community. Throughout my career, I've been committed to creating opportunities that foster equity in science.
