I am a PhD Candidate (third year—2026) in Astrophysics at Johns Hopkins University, USA. I am a physicist from the Universidad Industrial de Santander, Colombia, and I have a Master of Science in Astrophysics from the Universidad de Guanajuato, Mexico.

​​

I study the atmospheres of brown dwarfs and their variability. I'm mainly an observational astronomer, using spectroscopic and photometric data from telescopes such as HST, JWST, and Gemini. I'm focused on understanding the physical mechanisms that shape the atmosphere and drive its variability. Recently, I also started working as a modeling astronomer, using mainly software such as Brewster and PICASO.

 

I am also passionate about communicating science because I feel it is the tool we have at our fingertips to change lives. In 2024, I won the IAU/OAD grant to develop science projects to implement BARCo, and in 2025, the Engagement Prize from Europlanet. ​​

I am part of RECA (Red de Estudiantes Colombianos en Astronomía), where I mainly work in communications (social media and webpage management) and in the education node, where I lead projects to bring astronomy to rural communities in Colombia. Finally, my outreach profile is on Instagram @arrecifecosmico.
