Hi! My name is Jon. I am a Ph.D student at the Weinberg theory group of the University of Texas at Austin working on the field of topological and non-topological solitons (Instantons). I'm also interested in the field of Higgs physics, electroweak symmetry breaking, the use of axions to address the strong CP problem and as a candidate for Dark matter, fundamental symmetries and its posible violations, collider phenomenology, effective field theory applications and the study of vacuum decay mechanisms.

Previously, I was a BSc student in the Faculty of science at the National Autonomous University of Mexico, advised by Manuel Torres Labansat. My BSc research focused on studying the spontaneous symmetry breaking of gauge symmetries in scalar theories in a potential with two continuous vacuum families. Besides, I studied the properties of topological and non-topological field configurations such as kinks, vortices and instantons. I am also studyng mechanisms to obtain static multikink configurations using deformed potentials with a degeneracy parameter. I'm passionate about quantum field theory, in particular, the topics of physics beyond the standard model, vacuum decay, effective field theories, and non-perturbative fenomena in field theories.
