Here is the most updated version of my CV.

I am a evolutionary biologist with interest in genomics, conservation and population genetics. My research program asks how evolutionary forces shape genomes in changing environments, particularly in small populations.

I am a Chancellor’s Postdoctoral Fellow at UCLA Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology. I am working with Kirk Lohmueller in several conservation genomics projects:

  1. Looking at structural variants, the hidden layer of diversity in Channel Island foxes (Urocyon littoralis)
  2. The first population genomics assesment of the critically endagered Rice’s whale (Balaenoptera ricei)
  3. Evaluating the genomic rescue in Florida Panthers (Puma concolor)

I got my Computational Biology PhD at UC Berkeley, under the supervision of Rasmus Nielsen. I have a bachelor’s degree in Genomic Science from the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM).
