Jose M Munoz Arias

A featherless biped who is curious by nature and trained as a scientist, constantly asking questions about everything.

I am a Physics PhD student at MIT working on understanding the fundamental blocks of the universe, at the Laboratory of Exotic Molecules and Atoms. I work on both experimental and computational physics. My research interests include quantum mechanics, nuclear physics, statistical mechanics, ML, and optics. I am also interested in the intersection of science and society, and how to make science more accessible and inclusive.

Throughout my career, I have been involved in industry and academia. I worked doing ML research at the CMS experiment at CERN, and guane Enterprises (Colombia’s most innovative startup (2021-2023)). I also co-founded Qualia, an organization that aims to make technology available to everyone.

Please feel free to reach out for any questions or comments. I am always happy to talk about science, technology, and life.
