Short bio
I am a Ph.D. student in Physics at the University of Houston working in theoretical physics. My research focuses on black hole physics and quantum field theory in curved spacetime—Unruh/Hawking effects, horizon thermodynamics, and causal structure—as well as quantum many-body theory, topological condensed matter, and strongly correlated systems, including SYK-type models relevant to holographic duality and near-horizon thermodynamics.
Before joining UH, I earned a B.Sc. in Physics from the National University of San Marcos in Peru, graduating with honors and first in my cohort, and an M.Sc. in High Energy Physics from the ICTP–EAIFR in Rwanda, supported by an ICTP scholarship. I also completed the ICTP Postgraduate Diploma Programme in High Energy Physics online.
Research interests
- Black hole physics and near-horizon structure.
- HBAR entropy and thermal properties of causal horizons.
- Quantum field theory in curved spacetime; Unruh/Hawking phenomena.
- Emergence of conformal symmetry in effective geometries.
- SYK-type models as laboratories for quantum gravity and holography.
- Quantum chaos, scrambling, and thermalization in many-body systems.
- Topological phases and strongly correlated condensed matter systems.
