I am an astronomer of Mexican origin
working at the Instituto de Astrofisica de Andalucia (IAA-CSIC),
Granada, Spain since 2002.
My research is focused on the origin of planets and stars. I am
in the group of radioastronomers led by Guillem Anglada Pons
where I am in charge of calculating
radiative transfer models to interpret radio observations. I have special
interest in detecting and predicting signatures of protoplanets.
I am also interesting in massive and triggered star formation.
My favorite objects are in Sagittarius, Taurus and Orion.
Actually, Orion is an excellent laboratory to study the processes
that lead to the formation of stars and planets
due to its members having a diversity of ranges of masses and ages, all of them
located at a common distance.
Also I belong to the Herschel Orion Protostellar Survey (HOPS) team, led by Tom
Megeath (USA), where we try to understand the complex Orion protostars using
observations taken with different instruments (Herschel,
HST, Spitzer, APEX, ALMA, SOFIA, VLA, etc).
