Mayra Peralta

My great passion in physics lies in constructing analytical and computational models for low-dimensional systems from an atomistic perspective. I excel at communicating my projects in a simple and understandable manner and enjoy working both independently and as part of a team. I am eager to apply my knowledge in the field of quantum technologies and to contribute to research that has a direct impact on our world.
