Welcome to my corner of the web! I am a theoretical physicist fascinated with problems in astrobiology. Basically, if it's about the beginning or evolution of life in the universe, I'm all in.
I am a Research Scientist at the Blue Marble Space Institute of Science (BMSIS) and a visiting researcher at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). Previously, I was a Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) and a Graduate Research Fellow at the Spanish Center of Astrobiology (CAB, CSIC-INTA).
My research interests lie at the intersection of biophysics and biomolecular evolution. I explore the complex mechanisms and evolutionary processes that govern biological systems using theoretical approaches and computational tools. I consider myself a collaborative researcher and I truly believe it is necessary to combine diverse scientific disciplines to tackle complex questions.
