What I'm looking for

I'm open to remote and international opportunities where I can develop numerical models and scientific software for complex nonlinear systems. I'm available from November 2026, with earlier discussions welcome.

I'm developing numerical models for nonlinear gravitation and astrophysics at the Instituto de Ciencias Nucleares, UNAM, including coupled accretion and growth processes with interacting baryonic and scalar-field components.

Across postdoctoral research at Universitat de València and doctoral work at IGFAE, I built and extended Python-, C-, Fortran-, and Mathematica-based software for coupled ODE/PDE systems. I modified core routines in a complex C-based code for rotating relativistic systems, built automated parameter-scan and analysis workflows, and validated models through convergence control, consistency tests, and known physical limits.

My Ph.D. research and peer-reviewed work in computational astrophysics, gravitational physics, dark-matter modelling, and numerical relativity focus on translating mathematically challenging problems into reliable numerical implementations. I also communicate technical results internationally and review for Physical Review D and General Relativity and Gravitation.
