Personal profile

Research Interests

Currently, I am developing research in the following areas:
- High-energy particle detectors: Following my work in SAPHIR and having won the QUIMAL project, I am dedicated to the development of new particle detectors, both for industrial and scientific applications (SWGO).
- Physico-chemistry of micellar systems: Motivated by a research project conducted in 2009, I applied for and won a Fondecyt project that involves studying micellar systems and the effects of high-intensity ultrasonic radiation on them.
- Instrumentation and control electronics: I work continuously on the development of instrumentation and control systems, using microcontrollers, digital electronics, and high-voltage systems.
- Power ultrasonics and detection: Since my undergraduate studies, I have been working in this area, specifically in the control systems and industrial applications of high-intensity ultrasonics and detection.

Personal resume

During the process of obtaining my doctoral degree, I studied the ultrasonic atomization process on a free surface. As a result of this research, funded by a FONDEF project (in which I participated from its drafting), I published an article demonstrating the relationship between the surface tension of liquids affected by mechanical vibrations, which has potential applications in the manufacturing of composite materials, such as carbon fiber embedded in epoxy, and two invention patents.

Subsequently, I carried out my postdoctoral work at CEDENNA, developing an automatic system for producing metallic copper nanoparticles and an active collector electrospinning system, which has allowed me to maintain active collaboration with researchers at the Andrés Bello University.

Upon completing my postdoctoral work (2017), I joined Andrés Bello University (2018). In parallel with my work on power ultrasonics, I began collaborating with Sergey Kuleshov and Jilberto Zamora, who secured funding from the Millennium Institute (SAPHIR). During this period, I learned numerous high-speed detection and electronics techniques. As a result of this collaboration, I became a member of CERN and participated in the NA64 experiment, resulting in two publications.

During the pandemic, and given that experimental work was restricted during that period, I improvised a laboratory and conducted a small investigation into the relationship between acoustic cavitation and ultrasonic atomization. This research culminated in an article of which I am the sole author, without external funding.

In early 2023, I began the execution of my Fondecyt initiation project.

I maintain collaborations with chemists from UNAB as part of my Fondecyt project, astronomers and astrophysicists from U. de Tarapacá and U. de Yale in the execution of the upgrade of a telescope at the La Silla Observatory, physicists from U. de la Serena, UFSM, UMCE in the framework of the execution of a Quimal project and the SWGO experiment.
