About me

I recently finished my PhD in Mathematics at the University of Utah under the supervision of Christopher Hacon. Starting Fall 2023 I will be a Hedrick Assistant Adjunct Professor at UCLA under the supervision of Joaquín Moraga.

I am interested in Algebraic Geometry, more precisely in Birational Algebraic Geometry. In particular, I am interested in applications of the Minimal Model Program, automorphisms and birational automorphisms of varieties, numeical dimension of divisors, and the Kawamata - Morrison conjecture.

I got my Bachelor's and Master's degree in Mathematics at Universidad Católica de Chile under the supervision of Giancarlo Urzúa.
