After graduating in science with a major in Physics at the University of Chile, I started my Master’s degree in Physical Sciences (University of Santiago de Chile) and in 1995 doctoral degree in Physical Sciences. My doctoral thesis was on the Geodesic Structure of the Black Hole and Stellar Stability in Three Dimensions. Currently, my main research areas are Theoretical Cosmology and Lower Dimensional Black Holes.
My teaching career at the University of Santiago is related to the subjects of General Relativity; Introduction to Cosmology; Introduction to Astrophysics and Introduction to Black Holes for the majors of Physical Engineering, LEFM, Master in Philosophy of Science, Electrical Engineering and Computer Engineering.
