- Bio: I’m a sixth-year PhD student working in experimental biophysics. I study diffusion inside live bacterial cells with the aim of understanding more about the physics of the inner components of the cells. I use a combination of molecular biology techniques, optics, computer vision and statistical analysis for my work. Outside of lab I love to spend time in nature: hiking, kayaking, bird watching, scrambling up piles of rocks, you name it :). I’m originally from Costa Rica and have been in the US since the start of my PhD.
