I'm an astrophysicist and an assistant professor at the Instituto de Radioastronomía y Astrofísica (IRyA) - UNAM. I work on interesting problems related to compact objects, strong magnetic fields, and relativistic outflows. In particular, I'm interested in understanding the physics of magnetized jets in gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), multi-messenger signals from binary neutron star mergers, and magnetic energy dissipation leading to flaring activity in magnetars.

My research interests include:

• GRB jets: Spectro-polarimetric modeling of high-energy emission, radiative transfer, kinetic simulations, jet geometry, jet composition, high energy processes
• Neutron stars: Magnetar giant flares, population synthesis, cooling of isolated NSs
• Relativistic plasmas: Plasma waves, mode coupling to radiation, turbulence, magnetic reconnection
• Axions: Constraints on axion (also axion-like particle) properties from polarization measurements, and from Blazar physics

I am currently a member of:  Fermi-LAT group, Enhanced X-ray Timing and Polarimetry (eXTP) mission, POLAR-2 mission
