About me

I am from Colombia, and I have lived there almost all my life. Since I was a child, I have been fascinated by the natural world and the mysteries of the universe. When I was young, I became even more fascinated by the fact that mathematics allows us to understand and describe natural phenomena.

This curiosity has driven me to pursue a career in physics, where I have had the opportunity to explore the fundamental principles that govern our reality. I began my academic journey in physics at the University of Atlántico (UA) in Colombia, where I earned my bachelor's degree in Physics. I truly enjoy all areas of physics because each subject offers something new to explore and deepens my curiosity and desire to further understand the physical world. I became particularly interested in theoretical physics, although I also appreciate confirming and validating the beauty of theoretical explanations through experiments. During this period, I took my first steps into scientific research, working on a project involving a simple quantum system with potential applications in the emerging field of quantum technologies.

I later had the opportunity to pursue my master’s degree in Physics at the University of Oslo, Norway. During my studies, I conducted research in condensed matter physics and quantum technologies. This experience led me to develop a strong interest in computational physics, quantum chemistry, and quantum mechanics, which I consider powerful tools for understanding and designing complex physical systems and for translating fundamental science into reliable technological applications.

I am passionate about research and discovery, and I am committed to advancing our understanding of the physical world through my work. I aim to continue exploring a wide range of physical systems while developing deeper intuition and insight into the phenomena that govern our universe.

Research Interests and Projects

My research sits at the intersection of physics, computation, and emerging technologies. I am interested in understanding and designing quantum and semiconductor systems through numerical modeling, electronic-structure methods, and modern computational tools. I am also open to combining theoretical modeling with experimental work, bridging simulation and laboratory research to better understand and validate physical systems for technological applications.
