About me

I am a PhD student in Mathematics at the University of Utah. I am currently in the job market and I'll graduate in May 2023. I am interested in Algebraic Geometry and I work under the supervision of Christopher Hacon.

Currently I'm interested in topics related with the numerical dimension of divisors, automorphisms and birational automorphisms of Calabi-Yau manifolds, 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.
