Università di Napoli Federico II · Napoli, Italia
Higgs-like resonance searches with ATLAS. Supervisors: Mariagrazia Alviggi and Francesco Conventi.
Licenciatura in Physics
Universidad de Los Andes · Mérida, Venezuela
Thesis on electromagnetic momentum in modern physics. Supervisor: Gianfranco Spavieri.
