I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Media and Digital Culture at Tecnológico de Monterrey, Campus Hidalgo, where I bridge scholarly inquiry and creative practice. My work examines cinema studies, visual culture, and contemporary media through both theoretical frameworks and hands-on creative work in photography and video production.
My research investigates how aesthetic practices generate new forms of collective expression and political possibility, drawing on affect theory, semiotics, and posthumanism. Current projects explore Deleuzian affect in Hollywood melodrama, Thai cosmology in Apichatpong Weerasethakul's cinema, and AI in post-internet art education.
I coordinate international collaborative projects like "Trash to Art" (with Salem State University) and "Los Sonidos de Pachuca," demonstrating my commitment to community-engaged research and pedagogy. Twice recognized with the Circle of Outstanding Professors Award, my teaching integrates theoretical rigor with creative practice through technology-enhanced methods and cross-cultural partnerships.
I hold a PhD in Art History from Centro de Cultura Casa Lamm and work with a Fujifilm X-T5, exploring the intersections of documentary, narrative, and academic practice. My work is rooted in local context while engaging global conversations in visual culture.
