I am an Assistant Professor at the Center of Economic Studies at El Colegio de México


In my research I use experiments to understand ethical intuitions and behaviors in various settings. Also, I enjoy collaborating in interdisciplinary projects designing, analyzing, and improving social programs. 


Currently, I am working on research projects on dishonesty, fairness preferences, and doctor-patient interactions. 

Most importantly, I am Suzana's husband and Sofia's dad.
