PhD Student in Politics · New York University

I am a second-year PhD student in the Department of Politics at New York University. Previously, I worked as a pre-doctoral research fellow at CAIE ITAM and Georgetown University through the UPPER Global Research Training Initiative. I hold a BA and MA in Economics from ITAM.

My research focuses on political economy, media, and the criminal justice system. I study how governments control information environments, the spread of misinformation, and the political consequences of social media. I am also interested in judicial behavior and criminal justice, with a particular focus on Mexico.

Soy estudiante de segundo año del Doctorado en Política en la Universidad de Nueva York. Anteriormente, trabajé como asistente de investigación predoctoral en el CAIE del ITAM y en la Universidad de Georgetown a través de la Iniciativa UPPER de Formación en Investigación Global. Cuento con una licenciatura y una maestría en Economía por el ITAM.

Mi investigación se centra en economía política, medios de comunicación y el sistema de justicia penal. Estudio cómo los gobiernos controlan los entornos de información, la difusión de desinformación y las consecuencias políticas de las redes sociales. También me interesa el comportamiento judicial y la justicia penal, con especial enfoque en México.
