Welcome to my webpage!
I am an Assistant Professor at Universidad Andrés Bello (UNAB) in Chile.
My research interests cover a broad range of topics in theoretical astrophysics with emphasis on:
The host galaxies of binary compact object mergers, short gamma-ray bursts, and X-ray binaries
High-redshift galaxies as protocluster tracers
The dark matter halo - galaxy connection, and how the dark matter properties impact galaxy properties
The circumgalactic and intergalactic medium
Besides my interest in science, I am an amateur photographer and trail runner addict.

February 2024 I am happy to announce I have been awarded Fondecyt Iniciación (and first one in the ranking in Astronomy and Astrophysics!) for the project entitled "Unveiling the nature of binary compact objects mergers: a perspective from their host galaxies (BINHOST)". The goal of the project will be to explore the most likely host galaxies of binary compact object mergers for different formation channels and across cosmic time.
