Originally from Mexico, I completed my BSc and MSc in Polymer Engineering at Shenkar College, followed by a PhD at the Weizmann Institute of Science in the group of Prof. Daniel Wagner, where I studied the multiscale structure and mechanics of biological composites.

As a Fulbright Postdoctoral Scholar at Caltech, I joined Prof. Chiara Daraio’s group, where I developed 3D-printed biocomposites derived from microalgae. My research integrated materials formulation, process development, and mechanical testing to explore how biological principles guide the design of sustainable functional materials.

In 2025, I joined the Department of Materials Engineering at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev. My lab conducts fundamental research into how structure and composition across scales govern the mechanical and functional behavior of biological and bio-based materials, aiming to profoundly expand the basic understanding of structure–function relationships and enable the design of multifunctional systems.
