Fulltime Physics Professor at FCFM, BUAP.
Hello! Welcome to my CERN´s web site. I completed my physics studies at the Benemerita Universidad Autonoma de Puebla, Mexico (BUAP), and earned my PhD in physics at the Center for Research and Advanced Studies (CINVESTAV), Mexico City, focusing on particle physics phenomenology. Subsequently, I pursued my postdoctoral research at the Fermilab-E791 experiment, where I worked on the analysis of charmed baryon properties such as decays and lifetime.
Following this, I became involved with the Pierre Auger Observatory, contributing to the design and installation of the water Cerenkov tank array and participating in the publication of the first scientific findings from the Pierre Auger collaboration. Currently, I am a member of the ALICE Collaboration, where my work centers on evaluating the performance of the FIT-FDD detector and conducting astroparticle physics analyses using data from the ACORDE, TOF, and TPC detectors within ALICE.
In addition to my research activities, I am actively engaged in outreach efforts both in Mexico and at CERN. Collaborating with my academic group at BUAP and colleagues from the Particles and Fields Division of the Mexican Physical Society, I have participated in various outreach initiatives, including the "Noche de las Estrellas" (Stars Night), CERN-ALICE Master classes, CERN Open days, and numerous other popular science events in Mexico. Furthermore, I am a co-inventor of the "Cosmic Piano," a hands-on device designed to demonstrate the detection of secondary cosmic ray particles.
