About Me

I obtained my Ph.D. in physics in 2021 at The Ohio State University. I did my doctoral work in condensed matter theory working with Dr. Nandini Trivedi. My research focus was on magnetism in two-dimensional systems and magnetically frustrated systems.

I am originally from Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, but I have been living in the US since 2008.
