CV (last updated: 08/JUL/2026).

I am a mathematician specializing in Algebraic Geometry. My research focuses on the geometry and syzygies of projective varieties, explicit birational geometry, and Noether-Lefschetz theory.

Currently, I am a postdoc at IMPA, mentored by Olivier Martin.

I will be a postdoc fellow at the Alfréd Rényi Institute of Mathematics during August 2026 - February 2027, in the context of the Simons Semester in Algebraic Geometry.

Previously, I obtained my PhD at UNAM Oaxaca. My advisor was César Lozano Huerta.
