I joined the UM graduate program after I graduated with my B.S. in Physics at Universidad de Los Andes, Venezuela. I am currently working with Nuria Calvet and my research focuses on star and planet formation. I study the abundance of refractory materials in the inner disk of young low-mass stars (T Tauri stars) and the connection between refractory depletion and disk evolution/planet formation. To do so, I use magnetospheric accretion models to model emission lines in the spectra of young stars and probe the inner region of their disk.
