Welcome

I grew up in Mexico City and Los Angeles. I received an M.S. (Physics) from the National Polytechnic Institute in Mexico and my Ph.D (Physics and Astronomy) is from the University of Pennsylvania. When I am not teaching or doing research, my wife and I enjoy spending time with our children Camila and Mateo -- feeding the ducks, reading or watching a good movie. Physics and astronomy are my passions and you are always welcome to stop by my office and discuss anything -- even if you are not in any of my classes!
