Biography
I am a PhD student from Argentina studying theoretical physics. With over three years of experience in experimental and theoretical physics research, my interests are in particle phenomenology beyond the standard model. My latest project, for my senior thesis, was focused on rotating Q-balls.

Experience
Undergraduate Researcher (Particle Theory)
- Completed summer program at BYU with Dr. Chris Verhaaren. Collaboration continues as my senior thesis.
- Studied Q-balls, non-topological solitons arising from scalar fields with applications in dark matter.
- Developed analytical model for static and rotating Q-balls in two dimensions.
Undergraduate Researcher (AMO Experiment)
- Worked with Dr. Wes Walter on negative-ion threshold spectroscopy for two years, including two summers.
- Studied the isotope shifts in the electron affinity of lead, achieving most precise measurements in our lab’s history (access paper below).
- Traveled to colaborate at Stockholm University’s DESIREE facility, studying lanthanum anion excited state lifetimes for laser cooling applications.
Writing
Join me in the latest issue of Radiations to recap my experience presenting research at PhysCon 2022, a trip that was loaded with fun events and outings in Washington, DC.
Feared by some and admired by others, math has shaped our lives in ways beyond imagination. In this academic article, I explore the effects of powerful math on one of history’s most fascinating conflicts: the modern synthesis of biology.
It is the stories of the people around us that most deserve the spotlight. In this profile, I tell the story of my grandmother—from her family’s escape from a flood in her childhood to the charming story of how she met my grandfather.
