I am a senior undergraduate in physics at the University of California in Santa Cruz. I moved from Nicaragua to the United States in order to pursue a career in Astrophysics.

I use special relativistic hydrodynamic simulations to study possible progenitors for ultra-long gamma-ray bursts. My advisors are Professor Enrico Ramirez-Ruiz (UCSC), and Associate Professor Aldo Batta (INAOE).  I am interested in theoretical and computational astrophysics, with an emphasis on transient events and compact objects.

Pictures of my work will soon be available!
