My scientific career is centered in the field of physical chemistry, primarily focused on developing new methods and tools for different problems and systems. As a result, I have worked from different perspectives and on various systems, making me a multidisciplinary researcher in the field of atomistic physics. Along my scientific career, I has worked on various research lines, including the study of excited states of matter, development of molecular structural search and the investigation of condensed phase matter using molecular dynamics simulations. Currently, I am working to simulate the effect of X-ray lasers absorption in the molecular structure while continue my research in nanoconfined water in graphene.
