2012
I am a Venezuelan astrophysicist, and currently I work as a Postdoctoral Associate at the Kavli Institute for Astrophysics and Space Research, in MIT. My research interests are in the field of high energy astrophysics, and in particular the study of supernova remnants (SNRs) and energetic pulsars. Currently, the bulk of my work is focused on X-ray and gamma ray observations and analyses of SNRs, as well as analytical and computational approaches to the understanding of cosmic ray acceleration in SNR shocks.
