About myself
I am a mexican scientist starting my PhD at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology, which combines my passions: Evolution and Bioinformatics.
As part of the Tropical Archaeogenomics Group, my research focuses on population genomics across time in the Americas and other tropical regions.
Besides my academic interests, I like training at the GYM, making videos of the new places I visit, and finding good places to eat.
