My research centers on the evolution of massive stars—those that are several times more massive than the Sun—as they progress towards the end of their nuclear burning cycles and towards the collapse of their stellar cores.

This collapse can lead to the formation of compact objects like neutron stars or black holes. Massive stars are often found in multiple-star systems, including binaries, triples, and quadruples.

I employ analytical and numerical methods to investigate the interplay between stellar evolution, binary interactions, and gravitational dynamics.

For my research I have used detailed stellar evolution (MESA), 3D hydrodynamics (Gadget), and rapid population synthesis (COMPAS). I am a member of the COMPAS Collaboration, contributing to the development of COMPAS—a publicly available software that simulates the evolution of a stellar binary from formation to death in just fractions of a second.

I earned my bachelor degree in theoretical physics from the Universidad Autónoma de San Luis Potosí in México. I earned my PhD from the Institute for Gravitational Wave Astronomy at the University of Birmingham in England. I spent the last year of my PhD as a visitor at the Monash Centre for Astrophysics in Melbourne, Australia, as part of the OzGrav collaboration. After my PhD, I was a Fellow at the Niels Bohr Insitute. I am currently a Fellow at the Max Planck Institute for Astrophysics (MPA).
