Alberto Ruiz Biestro
Currently a graduate Physics & Astronomy student @ Rice University. I completed my BSc. in Engineering Physics at Monterrey Institute of Technology, where I did my research in computational optics and quantum billiards. My fields of interest vary from quantum computing to photonics, computational physics, and more. Proficient in Julia, MATLAB, and Python. Know my way around Mathematica.
I love condensed matter theory because I can leverage tools to design and understand solids. We are only in the early ages of computing, and I believe we have much to learn in how we use computational tools. I have learnt that fun one can find fun physics and Hamiltonians in research areas outside of conventional physics.
