ABOUT ME

Greetings! I am a dedicated physicist with a doctorate from the University of Antioquia in Colombia, where I delved into the intriguing realms of celestial mechanics and exoplanetary systems.

My research ventures far beyond our Solar System, journeying to the heart of mysterious planetary systems. I've dedicated my career to investigating the formation, evolution, and detectability of exomoons and exorings – elusive celestial objects that orbit distant planets. In this quest, I have not only sought answers but have ventured to unravel peculiar phenomena, often classified as strange within the context of exoplanet exploration.

​

Over the years, I have been instrumental in groundbreaking projects that aim to demystify peculiar astrophysical events. My contributions to understanding the enigmatic behavior of the Tabby star, the intricate light curves of low-density planets, and the apparent "absence" of tangible evidence of exomoons and exorings have helped shape current knowledge of these topics.

​

In addition, I have participated in theoretical studies leading to the prediction of "ploonets" – a new category of celestial objects derived from moons ejected from their orbits. I have also delved into the cataclysmic side of planetary science, exploring colossal interplanetary collisions, and ventured into the detection of giant exocomets.

​

Each project has been a stepping stone, enabling a deeper understanding of the cosmic theater we are part of. Together, these investigations hint at the vast potential of our universe and the plethora of discoveries that await us. I invite you to journey with me as we continue to uncover the secrets of the cosmos.
