About me

Hola!, my name is Paulo Montero-Camacho. I am originally from Costa Rica. I received my Ph.D. in Physics from The Ohio State University supervised by Prof. Christopher Hirata. After my Ph.D., I joined Prof. Yi Mao’s group as a postdoc (and Shuimu scholar) in the Department of Astronomy of Tsinghua University. I recently joined Peng Cheng Laboratory as an assistant researcher. My work lies in the interception between theoretical and computational cosmology. Most of my work consists of exploring non-standard probes of cosmology and astrophysics, i.e. exploring new exciting ideas and their ripples in our observations and theories by relaxing conventional wisdom in the standard cosmological model.

Furthermore, I recently joined DESI (Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument) and MUST (MUltiplexed Survey Telescope).
