I am an Assistant Professor of Spanish and Comparative Literature at the University of Utah. My work has appeared in scientific and humanities journals, as well as in public-facing venues such as Science for the People and The Brooklyn Rail.
I study how science changes as it moves across contexts.
My current book project, Science as Critique, examines how scientific concepts are translated, practices are repurposed, and encounters between communities transform science as a practice of critique.
Drawing on training in astrophysics, philosophy, and Latin American studies, I trace how sciences—from relativistic physics and psychoanalysis to genetics—circulate through Mexico, Peru, and Argentina, where Indigenous and Latin American intellectuals and movements rework them.
