My research focusses on the numerical study of massive stellar systems, particularly binaries and triples. These systems can give rise to a wide variety of transients such as stellar mergers, X-ray binaries, pulsars, supernovae, gamma-ray bursts and gravitational waves.


For my research I have used detailed stellar evolution (MESA), 3D hydrodynamics (Gadget), and rapid population synthesis (COMPAS). I am a member and developer of COMPAS, a software which simulates and studies massive binary evolution.


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 Postdoctoral Fellow at the Niels Bohr Insitute. I am currently a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Max Planck Institute for Astrophysics.
