Staff profile

I was born in Camargo Chihuahua Mexico in 1991. When I was in high school, I was more interested in Chemistry. However, after my first Calculus, lecture I decided to choose the undergrad with more calculus available in my city. Thus, I obtained my undergrad in Physics Engineering from the State University of Chihuahua in 2012. Posteriorly, I made a Master in Engineering from the National Autonomous University of Mexico where my research topic was related to aerodynamics. After that, I had a brief time working as a production supervisor and two years as a teacher at the State University of Chihuahua in Mexico.
