La física espacial se dedica a la comprensión de los procesos fundamentales en el sistema viento solar-magnetosfera-ionosfera (SVSMI) basados en la física de plasmas. Se espera que avances en esta área mejoren nuestra comprensión del espacio y genere mejor pronóstico del clima espacial, un área crítica de investigación tanto en Chile como en el mundo, ya que nuestra sociedad depende cada vez más de la tecnología espacial.
We dedicate our efforts to understand the underlying difficulties in science education, in special in the Chilean and Latin American framework, taking into account aspects as socioeconomic distribution and gender equality. In this context, we implement and quantify different strategies at institutional, teacher formation and student level to contribute close the gap in science education.
El análisis de estructuras delgadas es fascinante dado que aparte de ofrecer desafíos científicos en ciencia básica además permite acceder a ámbitos tan diferentes como el de la biología, medicina, ingeniería e incluso el arte. Por dar un ejemplo, en nuestro cuerpo podemos observar su importancia en los recubrimientos dado por la piel, todos los tubos internos como arterias, venas esófago, bronquios, alveolos y en general todas las estructuras separando dos medios en nuestro organismo.
