About

I am a Soft Matter Computational Scientist and an Assistant Professor at Lincoln University of Missouri. Currently, I am a Visiting Assistant Professor at Haverford College, Pennsylvania.

I obtained my Bachelor's Degree in Physics (Cum Laude) at the University of Carabobo, Venezuela, and carried out my doctoral studies in Chemical Physics at the Liquid Crystal Institute (now Advanced Materials and Liquid Crystal Institute), Kent State University.

Before joining Lincoln, I served as an International Postdoctoral Fellow of the Institute of Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences; a Postdoctoral Researcher at Columbia University; and a Visiting Researcher at Stony Brook University, University of Twente, Netherlands, and University of Pennsylvania. Last but not least, I taught at Stony Brook University and Temple University.

Interests

Smart and stimulus-responsive materials, non-linear elasticity, modeling of liquid crystalline textures and application design, tunable particle dispersions by solidification, among others.
