About

I am a researcher interested in the study of nature and society from the perspective of complexity science. Currently, I’m a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Complex Systems at the Institute of Physics of the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), and co-leader of the Corruption and Impunity Observatory at the Institute of Legal Research of UNAM.
