Professional Title: Astronomer

A dedicated and accomplished astronomer with over 10 years of experience in observational and theoretical astrophysics, specializing in the study of exoplanetary systems and cosmic microwave background radiation. A graduate of the Universidad Nacional de Colombia, Bogotá, my work has focused on advancing astronomical research through innovative methodologies tailored to the unique conditions of Colombia Bogotá's high-altitude observatories. Committed to fostering scientific collaboration between Latin American institutions and international research networks, I have contributed to projects that leverage Colombia's strategic geographical position for deep-space observations.
