I am a Chilean astronomer currently living in Chile and working at Universidad de Antofagasta (UA). I finished my PhD in Astronomy in 2005 in the University of Southampton (UK). I directed for several years the outreach centre at Universidad Católica del Norte and then co-founded the Unidad de Astronomía (Astronomy Unit) at UA in 2012 in collaboration with the astronomer Christian Nitschelm. I directed the Unidad de Astronomía between 2012 and 2018, and then I have directed the Centro de Astronomía (Astronomy Center, CITEVA) since 2018. I have also led the development of a new observatory (Ckoirama) and a new astroengineering lab (LADA) in the Region of Antofagasta.
