- Assocciate Researcher at the Institute of Physics at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM)
- Head of the Rydberg Quantum Optics Lab
- This lab seeks to exploit the strong interactions that exist between highly excited atoms, also known as Rydberg Atoms, to tailor optical media that are non-linear down to the few-photon level.
- Member of the National Laboratory of Quantum Matter
