About me
B.Sc Physics Thesis title: Long period events in volcanic enviroments
M.Sc Physics. Specializations: Radiation, Nanotechnology, Particles, and Astrophysics
Thesis title: Rheology in unsteady triaxial magnetic fields.
I am a physicist focused on the study of the effect that an electromagnetic field has on the mechanical properties of a material. I am really interested in experimental physics, mainly in applied physics. I love to have the possibility of applying my research to real-life industrial applications.

About my PhD research
Subject: Tuning colloidal gels by coupling shear & electric field
What are you doing?
I am currently studying colloidal gels made from fumed silica particles in mineral oil. This gel is a typical yield stress fluid with properties well known. At this point we are applying external electric fields while controlling the viscoelastic properties of the gel to be able to figure out the effect of the external field over the material.
Goal
Figure out the microstructure change in the different steps of the experiment with and without electric field; we also want to carefully study the different timescales that are present in our experiments that would serve as some insights on how the gel is responding to the external stimuli.
