    Research fellow in the Theoretical Biophysics group at the University of California, Los Angeles, as part of a short-scholar exchange program sponsored by the Generalitat de Catalunya. The goal was to develop a model to simulate the formation of the protein shell that protects the infective genome of viruses in collaboration with Professors Robijn Bruinsma and Joseph Rudnick. The visit led to the publication Luque, Reguera, Morozov, Rudnick, and Robijn Bruinsma. "Physics of shell assembly: Line tension, hole implosion, and closure catastrophe."
