"All truths are easy to understand
once they are discovered.
The point is to discover them."

Welcome to my Web Page

I got my Ph. D. in Mathematics at the Mathematics Department of Cinvestav in January 2003, under the supervision of Dr. Rafael H. Villarreal. You can find more information about my academic ancestors and my Ph. D. students in the Mathematics Genealogy Project. From August 2003 to February 2005 I was a postdoctoral researcher at the Mexican Petroleum Institute and from March 2005 to April 2006 I was a postdoctoral researcher at the Institute of Mathematics of the UNAM.

Since December 2023, I have been associated editor of the Boletín de la Sociedad Matemática Mexicana. Also, since 2016 I have been part of the editorial board of the Miscelánea Matemática of Sociedad Matemática Mexicana. From 2013 to 2015 I was a member of the editorial board of the Carta Informativa of Sociedad Matemática Mexicana.

At the summer school in mathematics Cinvestav 2019, I gave the talk "La combinatoria de Catalan en las estructuras aritméticas de una gráfica". And at the joint meeting of the Real Sociedad Matemática Española (RSME) y la Sociedad Matemática Mexicana (SMM), I gave the talk "Algunos aspectos algorítmicos de las estructuras aritméticas" .
