Currently at the University of South Carolina Physics and Astronomy Department and USC Nanocenter, I work as a Research Assistant Professor in spin momentum transfer devices, noise in magnetic tunnel junctions, and once in a while Au-thiol magnetism and InN nanowires/nanonetworks. You can fiind me somewhere between the lab of Prof. Thomas Crawford, the lab of Prof. Richard Webb and my office in the fifth floor of   PSC.

I was born in Bogota (Colombia), high in the Andes mountains. After finishing high school and going to mandatory military service for a year, I majored in Physics from Universidad de los Andes, in Bogota, in the area of Chaos under the supervision of Profs. Philippe Binder and Thomas Dittrich. I taught high school physics for three years, and experimental physics for two years at the university (during my major). I then spent a month at Max Planck Institute for Complex Systems in Dresden, Germany, working on quantum chaos, and decided to start a PhD in the United States. I got my PhD in Physics from University of Maryland, College Park, in January 2005, under the supervision of Prof. Richard Webb in the general area of mesoscopic and low temperature physics. My research concentrated on nonlocal spin injection and detection via transport and magnetic force microscopy.
