Alberto Ruiz Biestro

PhD Student in Physics at Rice University.

I am a second-year PhD student in the Physics and Astronomy program at Rice University. I enjoy bridging theory and computation in physics, particularly to design and understand solids (or condensed matter systems). Specifically, my interests lie in predicting magnetic behaviour of materials ab initio.

You can read more about the big-picture of my research (or in detail).

Before coming to Rice, I completed my BSc. in Engineering Physics at Monterrey’s Institute of Technology. My previous research focused on computational optics and quantum billiards. You can read more about it here: doi:10.1103/PhysRevE.109.034203.
