Welcome to my website! I was born in Lima, Peru's
capital. I lived in Peru until I was 16, when my parents relocated
to the United States. I spent my undergraduate years at the
University of Kansas. Although a city person, I am still very fond
of my time there. I am
currently on my third year of graduate school at Yale's astronomy
department, working with Prof. Marla Geha.
Traveling is a favorite activity of mine, whenever I get the chance.
I was fortunate to have the opportunity to study Japanese on my free time
from physics, and eventually spent a wonderful 6 months in Kanazawa
and Nagoya. Besides astronomy, I very much also enjoy
learning foreign languages, good food, chess, and classical music.
Please see my
research page for details on my ongoing and past work.
