About Me

Education: I have a bachelors degree in physics from the University of Guanjuato and a Masters degree in Science (Astrophysics) from the Astronomy Department of the same University. I am currently doing a PhD in Astronomy and Astrophysics in Europe. My PhD is splitted in two halves: the first half is taking place at Paris Observatory and the second half at Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research.

Research Interests: I am interested in exoplanet discovery and characterisation. My current work is focused on the detectors of PLATO space mission and also on the use the so called double aperture photometry for Detecting false palnetary transits.

Publications: Here is an ADS link with all my publications so far!

PLATO Double-aperture Photometry
Detecting false planetary transtis is a crucial task for every transit survery. Aperture photometry is vastly used in space telescopes as a way to extract transit light curves on-board. However, using a single aperture is not enough to see if the produced light curve is actually planetary. Therefore, using a second aperture could be helpful for A considerable part of my work is devoted to test

PLATO CCD defects corrections
Although highly efficient, Charge Couple Devices (CCDs) are susceptible to several defects
