I'm originally from Mexico City, with part of my childhood spent near the Gulf coast in Campeche. I studied physics at the Faculty of Physics of Universidad Veracruzana, then returned to Mexico City for a master's and PhD at UNAM, working with Axel de la Macorra, Octavio Valenzuela, and Miguel Alcubierre on the signatures of dynamical dark energy and modified gravity in baryon acoustic oscillations and galaxy redshift surveys.
In 2019 I moved to Poland for a postdoctoral position in the inhomogeneous cosmology group led by Boudewijn Roukema at NCU Toruń. In 2021 I joined the Computational Cosmology Group at the Center for Theoretical Physics PAS in Warsaw, led by Wojtek Hellwing and Maciej Bilicki, before starting my own group in 2025 as Principal Investigator of the NCN SONATA-funded PAIRS project. I'm currently a PI at the National Centre for Nuclear Research (NCBJ).
I teach and supervise students in cosmology and data analysis, referee for leading journals, and take part in international collaborations including LSST, DESC, and CLUES. Alongside research, I mentor early-career scientists and serve on the leadership board of the Supernova Foundation, which supports women and other underrepresented groups in astronomy.
I bake, forage for wild mushrooms during Polish mushroom season, and used to practice Taekwon-do and Limalama. I've also helped translate popular-science texts into indigenous languages. I am, by contrast, a famously unsuccessful gardener, despite continued efforts.
