I completed my undergraduate studies at the Faculty of Physical-Mathematical Sciences of the Universidad Michoacana de San Nicolás de Hidalgo (UMSNH) in Morelia, Michoacán. I earned both my Master’s and PhD in Theoretical Physics at the Institute of Physics and Mathematics at UMSNH. Following that, I held postdoctoral positions at the Institute of Astronomy of the National Autonomous University of Mexico (IA-UNAM), the Department of Astronomy and Astrophysics at the University of Valencia in Spain, and at the Relativistic Astrophysics Group of the Institute for Theoretical Physics, Goethe University Frankfurt in Germany.
I am currently an Associate Researcher (C level) at the Institute of Astronomy at UNAM and a Level I member of Mexico’s National System of Researchers (SNI-SECIHTI). I am also an active member of the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) collaboration, where I contribute to the theory and simulations group. As part of this work, I have helped develop a library of images of the black hole shadows in the supermassive black hole of galaxy M87 and in the center of our own galaxy, Sagittarius A*.
My research focuses on high-energy astrophysical processes within the framework of general relativity. My main interests include the study of compact objects such as neutron stars, quark stars, boson stars, hybrid stars with dark matter components, and black holes. I also investigate accretion processes and the generation of relativistic jets via the Blandford-Znajek mechanism, multi-frequency electromagnetic emission using relativistic magnetohydrodynamic and radiative transfer models, black hole shadows, particle dynamics and acceleration in plasmas, scalar dark matter, and gravitational waves from post-merger systems involving black holes and inclined accretion disks.
