About Me

My name is Yarelis Danixa Acevedo Rios, a Laboratory Technician Research Technician 2 at the Outer Tracker, CMS group of Brown University. I completed my undergrad in the Physics Department at the University of Puerto Rico, Mayaguez. I’m passionate about designing, building, and programming machinery for experimentation. I have strong qualitative and analytical skills to conduct independent research. I speak English and Spanish fluently.
