I did my undergraduate studies in Nanotechnology and Molecular Engineering at Universidad de las Americas Puebla in Mexico. My interest in nanotechnology then brought me to Cambridge, where I joined the NanoDTC MRes + PhD programme in 2018. My research explored the optical phenomena in nanostructured, ultra thin solar cells, and how they can be harnessed to attain high photovoltaic efficiencies by maximising light absorption. I was particularly interested in the potential of these devices for space applications given their intrinsic radiation tolerance.
