I'm a Professor at the Astronomy Department at Universidad de Concepción (Chile) and Leader of a Max Planck Partner Group that investigates the baryon cycle in galaxies across cosmic time . Before that I was a Postdoctoral Fellow working at the IR/Sub-millimeter group at the Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics. I obtained my PhD at the Astronomy Department of the University of Maryland working with Prof. Alberto Bolatto funded by a Fulbright fellowship. My main research interest are the study of star formation and the multi-phase interstellar medium of nearby and high-z galaxies.

ALMA Large Program CRISTAL
ALMA Large Program CRISTAL
I'm the PI of CRISTAL, an ALMA Cycle 8 Large Program that is observing in [CII] 158 μm line and dust continuum 19 main-sequence, star-forming galaxies at z~4−5. With the combination of ALMA, HST, and JWST, CRISTAL will produce a systematic census of the gas, dust, and stars on kiloparsec scales when the Universe was only ∼1 billion years old.

AGN, star-forming galaxies, and galactic outflows at the peak of cosmic star formation activity
AGN, star-forming galaxies, and galactic outflows at the peak of cosmic star formation activity
One my main research interests is the study of the molecular gas content of main-sequence, star-forming and AGN galaxies at z~1-3, and the impact of outflows on their star formation activity. I'm currently part of large collaborations observing the molecular and ionized gas content of high-z galaxies including KMOS3D, PHIBSS, and NOEMA3D.
Interstellar medium in nearby and high-z galaxies
Interstellar medium in nearby and high-z galaxies
I'm very interested in the study of the interstellar medium (ISM) properties of nearby and high-z galaxies. For this purpose I've been using observations of the fine-structure FIR lines as part of the KINGFISH and SHINING Herschel teams, and observations of the molecular and ionized lines as part of the EDGE-CALIFA collaboration. In the near future I will be involved in the study of the cold and warm ISM properties of the Magellanic Clouds based on observations from SDSS-V/LVM survey and the Fred Young Submillimeter Telescope (CCAT-p)/GECO survey.
