About Me

I am a PhD student from Argentina studying theoretical physics. With experience in experimental and theoretical physics research, my interests are in particle phenomenology beyond the standard model. My latest project focused on studying dark matter models that accumulate in the Sun at significant rates.

My Research

I am interested in the areas of high energy phenomenology, cosmology, and astroparticle physics, which means that I want to understand the evolution of the universe mostly through the interactions of its most fundamental components—particles.

My previous work includes studying dark matter models that could accumulate in the center of the Sun as well as exploring objects called Q-balls which could be at the center of various models of dark matter and baryogenesis.
