About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Finish my PhD

ABOUT ME

I'm a PhD student. My field is within physics in particular computational physics. Nowadays I am working on my thesis which is related to vortex matter in a superconductor. I was born and raised in the north east part of Mexico .

I enjoy camping but as well staying home doing whatever like personalizing my computer. I don't consider myself a computer guy, actually I am quite far form being one, but I can spend hours googleing stuff about computers, to the point that if somehow my lap crashes I will be more sorry about loosing all those things that I've changed than the data stored in it.

Without changing the topic and relating it to my thesis. Since I started working on the latter I've been using UNIX which many think as ugly and unfriendly but in my personal opinion is by far better than windows.

I like to learn and know as much as I can of nearly everything but usually I retain quite a few of it!
