Born in Mérida, Yucatán, Mexico, I graduated as a Mechatronics Engineer, specializing in high-power electronics and control systems. My initial pursuit of a Master’s in Applied Physics, with the goal of specializing in solid-state physics and microchip design, unexpectedly shifted towards synchrotron radiation in the LHC. This led to my PhD research at CERN, where I mapped synchrotron radiation in the arcs of the highest energy hadron colliders, including the LHC, HL-LHC, He-LHC, and FCC-hh. This research culminated in an invitation to join the SppC research group at IHEP/CAS. Subsequently, I served as an Associate Professor at the Polytechnic University of Yucatán, where I taught physics and mathematics and contributed to the study of mechanical statistics. I then joined the China Spallation Neutron Source (CSNS), where I conducted research on Intrabeam Stripping (IBSt) in the low-energy linac. Following my time at CSNS, I joined DCI as an Associate Professor, where I currently work.
