About me
I'm a fourth year PhD student at the Institute for Computations Cosmology (ICC) at Durham University. My research centers on cosmological observations, from Spectroscopic surveys, galaxy formation to clustering of galaxies and the large-scale structures of the universe. Since 2017, I’m part of the the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) collaboration, from which I'm the lead person in charge of providing the BGS target selection, the larger sample of bright galaxies up to date. I have a broad range of research experience, from generating observational galaxy catalogues, mitigation of systematic foregrounds, to clustering analysis for the large scale structure.
In addition to my Physics programme, I’m part of the first generation of the Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT) in Data-Intensive Science programme, which comprises training in data science, MBA and outreach workshops. Within the CDT programme, I’ve gained experience to create new links between academic and industrial research.
I received my Masters of Science degree in Physics by the Center for Research and Advanced Studies of the National Polytechnic Institute (CINVESTAV) in 2015 working under the supervision of Prof. Eloy Ayón-Beato and Prof. Cesar Terrero on topics related to observational cosmology with the CBM using PLANCK and Dark Energy models using a phase transition between barotropic fluids and a Quintessence scalar field. I was born and raised in Colima, Mexico, a beautiful Mexican state with Volcanoes and nice beaches. I receive my BSc degree in Physics by the University of Colima in 2013.
