About
Since I was a little girl, I dreamed to study the Universe. Therefore, I did master and doctorate studies in Astrophysics. I focused my research on Radio Astronomy, in particular radio emission chracterization and turbulece analysis of Galactic Star-forming regions.
Inspired by my long time working with databases, I currently work in research datamanagment as project manager of the Semantic Instrument Database at DLR. I'm also a guest researcher at Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy (MPIfR). I did my doctoral studies at the MPIfR and my Master studies in Mexico at the Astronomy Deparment of the University of Guanajuato and The Insititute of Radio Astronomy and Astrophysics of the UNAM. My field study is the Star formation. My main work is related with radio emission characterization and turbulence dynamics study of Galactic Star-forming regions.
