Introduction

Back in 2012 I earned a BSc in Physics from the National Autonomous University of Mexico UNAM and graduated with a thesis on the topic of shockwave formation inside a trumpet. After which I moved to the Netherlands and enrolled in the master program of the University of Twente in the field of fluid mechanics. Here I joined the prestigious Physics of Fluids PoF group chaired by Prof. Detlef Lohse and graduated with a MSc degree in 2014 on the topic of explosive boiling inside a small capillary. Shortly after I started my doctoral studies under the supervision of Prof. Detlef Lohse and Prof. Chao Sun on the topic of multiphase drag reduction in wallbounded flows. Specifically I looked at the drag reduction generated by vapor bubbles in TaylorCouette flow. After completing my doctoral studies in 2018 I joined MARIN where my main focus of research is still multiphase flows albeit in a different context wave impacts in cryogenic containment systems. Under the SLING research program I currently do experimental work on wave impacts in the Atmosphere ATM facility. This stateofthe art facility allows us to expose wave to extreme conditions of temperature pressure and gas composition. As a consequence we can study the impact loads generated by these waves as a function of the gastoliquid density ratio liquidgas compressibility and even phase transition Besides research my interests lie in playing music film and bouldering. Interested to hear more about my research Get in touch
