About Alvaro

I was raised in Gainesville, FL and still sometimes miss the barbecue and humidity of my childhood. I studied Chemistry & Physics at Harvard, where I conducted research on energy storage technologies and found a love for the liberal arts. After college, I received an MS in Chemistry from UC Berkeley before moving to Los Angeles, where I currently reside. Outside of work, I like to watch and play soccer, read novels and political theory, cook, explore LA’s wealth of Latin American and Asian cuisines, and play video games. I am also interested in scientific and political writing and have work published in Science, Nature, and the Harvard Political Review.
