Starting Year: Summer 2025

Program Specialization: 

Laboratory Association(s): James Schnable

I earned my bachelor’s degree in Experimental Biology from the University of Guanajuato in Mexico. My most formative research experience was through a research exchange in Dr. James Schnable’s lab at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln, where I worked on eQTL analysis in maize and sorghum. For my Ph.D., I’m interested in gene regulation and the genetic basis of complex traits in these crops. Outside of research, I enjoy traveling, learning about new cultures, and sharing science through outreach.
