I am a Dphil (PhD) Candidate at the Faculty of Law, University of Oxford, a non-resident Scholar at the Baker Institute of Public Policy, Rice University, and a Research Assistant at the Bonavero Institute of Human Rights. Before that, I served as a career clerk for the Mexican Supreme Court of Justice and worked as a research advisor at the Gender Equality Program of the Federal Judicial Council.
I hold an LL.M. from Columbia Law School, where I studied as a Fulbright grantee and Charles B. Bretzfelder Constitutional Law scholar, and an LL.B. from Instituto Tecnológico Autónomo de México.
My current research lies at the intersection of constitutional law, regulation, and emerging technologies. My doctoral thesis focuses on the constitutionalisation of the digital environment - specifically the case of online platforms and content moderation. In addition to Internet governance, I am interested in AI and the legal and social implications of the use of algorithmic systems in public and private decision-making, particularly in fragile democracies.
I teach, or contributed to, courses on Internet Technologies and Regulation, International Human Rights Law, Family Law, and Gender Justice to undergraduate and graduate students at various universities.
My scholarship on reproductive rights, co-authored with José Ramón Cossío and Luisa Conesa, was cited by the Mexican Supreme Court in the decision which held that criminalising abortion at any stage of pregnancy is unconstitutional.
At Oxford, I currently co-convene the Future of Technology and Society Discussion Group at the Faculty of Law.
