I am a UC President’s Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of California, Irvine in the Department of Mathematics. I am interested in arithmetic geometry and number theory and I work with Nathan Kaplan.

Previously, I completed my Ph.D. at Emory University under the guidance of David Zureick-Brown. For my dissertation, I studied rational points on curves via the method of Dem’yanenko-Manin and you can see me talk about my work here, at the Café con Leche lecture series.

About Me

I am a Mexican-American first-generation student from Cudahy, California. In spring 2020, I earned my B.A. in Pure Mathematics from California State University, Fullerton.

After graduating from California State University, Fullerton, I started the Ph.D. program at Emory University and completed my dissertation in arithmetic geometry.

Currently, I am a postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Mathematics at UCI. You can find more in my CV.

I am committed to creating a more diverse and inclusive community in mathematics and creating opportunities for under-privileged, under-represented, students of color.
