I am a tenure-track researcher in the Instituto de Matemáticas at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) in Ciudad Universitaria, Mexico City.

I am interested in discrete probability. I study stochastic models defined over combinatorial structures, such as random walks, random trees, and competitive growth processes. My work describes the large-scale behaviour of discrete random processes and their rigorous connections to continuous models through the scaling limit.

Previously, I was a postdoctoral fellow at the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology. My hosts were Eviatar Procaccia and Ron Rosenthal. I obtained my Ph.D. with the probability group in the Department of Mathematics at the University of British Columbia (UBC). I worked under the supervision of Omer Angel and Martin Barlow. Before that, I completed my M.Sc. in Mathematics at UBC and my B.Sc. in Mathematics at the Universidad de Guanajuato / CIMAT in Mexico. More details on my academic background and activities are available on my CV.
