Luis Valenzuela Cazares
Physicist
Throughout my career journey across diverse nuclear physics experiments and institutions, I have built experimental data analysis, R&D, and simulation expertise. I have contributed to physics analyses and code development that optimized large-scale collaborations, gaining a solid foundation in experimental techniques and teamwork. I look forward to expanding this expertise through a PhD in Experimental Nuclear or High Energy Physics.
