Joaquín Peñuela

I am a Ph.D. student in the Materials Science and Engineering (MSE) program at the University of Pittsburgh (Pitt). My current work consists of using tensor network algorithms to study electrical transport generated by incident light coupled to a Boundary-driven Open Quantum System to optimize rectification behavior. I received my B.Sc. in Physics with a minor in Mathematics from Universidad de los Andes (Uniandes) in Bogotá, Colombia. While I love coding and learning Physics, in my free time I love playing the guitar and reading comics. You can find more information about me on my personal website.
