I'm a scientist in the field of physics and a college teacher. Throughout my career, I've had the privilege of living and working in Spain, Germany, and the Netherlands. My passion for interdisciplinary exploration has led me to delve into various realms, from hybrid protein/synthetic polymer latexes to studying the dynamics of soft matter in confinement using optical techniques like interferometry, microscopy, and digital holography. I'm deeply invested in photonic materials, porous materials, microfluidics, and optofluidics. Beyond my academic pursuits, I find joy in reading literature and poetry, engaging in sports, and immersing myself in nature's beauty. Always open to new experiences and collaborations, I approach each endeavor with curiosity and enthusiasm.
