I am from Chile. I raised in the outskirts of Santiago in a family of two parents and three brothers. I lived there for 26 years and, during this time, I completed a B.Sc. in Applied Physics in the Facultad de Ciencia at the Universidad de Santiago de Chile.
When I finished my B.Sc. I moved to Mexico. In 2016, I completed my Ph.D. in Physics from the Universidad Michoacana de San Nicolás de Hidalgo. My thesis was about computer simulations of isolated strong gravity systems, using conformal methods. During this time, I was visiting research student in the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics, Canada (2014), and the University of Southampton, England (2013).
I currently research on gravitational-wave (GW) data analysis and machine learning. I currently work as postdoctoral researcher at the Universidad de Guadalajara and, as data scientist, I advise the Jalisco State Government in the design and implementation of AI projects for Public Safety, mainly related to biometric recognition and predictive policing.
Regarding GW data analysis, I am member of the GW Data Analysis Group in Guadalajara, Mexico, and I have collaborated with researchers of the Supernova Group of the LIGO Scientific Collaboration, mainly of the Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, USA.
I collaborate as Machine Learning Mentor in Saturdays.AI #Guadalajara, which is a community of experts and industry professionals on a mission to develop AI projects with social impact. Recently, I was elected as member of the Sistema Nacional de Investigadores (SNI), which is the main governmental agency to promote research in Mexico.

As a collateral pathway, I have been involved in the dialogue between science and religion since 2009, with research interest in cultural, philosophical, and theological issues. In 2011, I was awarded with the 1st prize in a competition of science-religion essays by the Sophia-Iberia in Europe Templeton Project, thank to an essay about Protestant natural theology.
I am founder and co-editor-in-chief of Razón y Pensamiento Cristiano, an independent journal that I founded for encouraging theological studies informed by sciences. For this work, I was invited to the seminal Workshop "Science and Religion in Latin America", held in the University of Oxford, England (2013). Later, I was co-organizer of the pioneering "Ibero-American Meeting for Science and Faith" in Mexico City (2015).
As a multidisciplinarity enthusiast, I collaborate in several emergent and cutting-edge theological and philosophical initiatives informed by natural sciences. I am Member of the Centro de Ciencia y Fe in Spain, Voice of the Center for Open and Relational Theology in USA, founder member of the Realidad y Proceso international philosophical group, and scholar of the Global Faculty Initiative being member of its network collaboration.
When I am not doing science, I enjoy listening to jazz, reading sci-fi and fantasy books, watching good films, anime, playing board games, biking, and dancing tango. Moreover, as a Christian, I have participated in several churches: Pentecostal, Methodist, Baptist, and currently in a Lutheran church in Guadalajara, Mexico.
