I work on supernova science and astroinformatics, and have worked in many areas of astronomy, from theory to observations, data analysis and instrumentation.
I did my Ph.D. studies in Oxford University with Prof. Philipp Podsiadlowski on theoretical studies of Type Ia supernova. I have B.Sc.’s in Engineering Sciences and Astronomy at Universidad de Chile. I led the installation of the first Chilean robotic telescope at CTIO and I was a Fondecyt postdoc studying the progenitors of Type Ia supernova.
I am the P.I. of the High cadence Transient Survey (HiTS), looking for supernova just after explosion analyzing DECam data in real-time in an interdisciplinary effort. I enjoy learning new things with people working in different areas.[/fusion_text][fusion_text]
