Overview Research Contact
I am an engineer, researcher and educator with an international career spanning academia and industry in the Netherlands, the UK, USA and Mexico. Teaching has been a central part of my career, particularly in Physics, Engineering and Photonics. I enjoy helping students understand challenging scientific concepts, develop practical problem-solving skills and gain confidence as independent learners. I have taught and supervised students from undergraduate through PhD level and particularly value working in international and multidisciplinary learning environments. My technical background is in optoelectronics and photonics, with expertise in fiber lasers, optical sensing and applied R&D. I enjoy bringing this research and industry experience into the classroom and connecting theory with real engineering applications. Originally from Mexico and now based in Enschede, I have made the Netherlands my home. Outside work, I enjoy salsa dancing, travelling, documentaries and discovering different cultures and spending time with my family.
