Yesica Yazmín Escobar Ortega
Yesica obtained her PhD on August 10, 2016. She studied the dynamics of different repulsive granular systems: impact, compaction and granular gases. Moreover, she focused her research on the mechanical response of magnetocrystals. Yesica was awarded in 2020 with the "Young Poeple's Prize" in the State of Tlaxcala, Mexico.
