About me

Received a B.Sc. degree in Physics Engineering in 2002 and M.Sc. in Electronic Systems in 2005 from the Tecnológico de Monterrey, Mexico. Early in 2003 I joined the Photonics and Mathematical Optics Group (PMOG) and started working as a research assistant under Dr. Julio C. Gutierrez-Vega, where I was involved in research in analysis of mode competition in unstable optical resonators (my Master's dissertation), numerical methods for propagation and non-diffracting beams. In 2005 I started the Ph.D. program in optics at the Institute of Optics in Rochester NY and joined the Phase Retrieval and Imaging Science group (PRAISE), headed by Dr. James R. Fienup. My current research is mainly focused on the development and advance of phase retrieval for application to high-resolution lensless imaging at x-ray wavelengths.
