ABOUT ME

Greetings! I am a physicist with a Ph.D. from the University of Antioquia (Colombia), where I specialised in celestial mechanics and the architecture of exoplanetary systems.

My research ventures beyond the boundaries of our Solar System, into the dynamic and sometimes chaotic orchestration of distant worlds. I am particularly drawn to the margins—the regions where the predictable gives way to the improbable. There, I explore the formation, evolution, and detectability of exomoons and exorings: elusive companions that orbit exoplanets and have so far evaded direct observation. But I don’t just seek answers—I seek questions that disturb what we think we know.

​

Over the years, I’ve contributed to projects that try to decode the anomalous: from the flickering enigma of Tabby’s Star to the unlikely light curves of ultra-puffy planets, and the persistent absence of moons where theory says they should exist. These mysteries are not just scientific puzzles—they are invitations to imagine better models, to invent new categories, to expand the grammar of our cosmic understanding.

​

Among the ideas I’ve helped introduce are ploonets—moons that break free to become planets—and cronomoons—moons that carry their own rings like tiny, poetic Saturns. I’ve also explored colossal planetary collisions and the ghostlike transits of giant exocomets. In all of these, I find not just data, but stories—stories of change, loss, emergence, and survival.

​

Each project I undertake is also a personal exploration, where rigour meets creativity, and science becomes a form of listening—to the cosmos, and to myself. I invite you to journey with me into this strange, unfolding universe, where even the silences are full of meaning.
