Outreach

Here I show some activities that I enjoy in addition to research.

Learning

I am always taking the opportunity to learn new analytic techniques that allow me to go deeper into my scientific studies. I also love reading books about education, biographies, leadership, science, science communication, detective novels, among others. In general, I love reading, especially with my big-little kid.

Enjoying family and friends

I enjoy hiking, biking, practicing yoga, photography, and visiting natural parks and museums with family and friends. During our trips, I enjoy explaining astronomy. Particularly, I am very good at explaining constellations!

Lecturer

I enjoy sharing my passion for science, watching the sky, and the power that science provides to build a better world for everybody. Recently I participated (online) as a voluntary teacher in the course "Introduction to Astronomy" taught by the Central University of Venezuela. As part of this course, I taught about some of the properties of regular galaxies, globular clusters, and active galactic nuclei. The classes are in Spanish, and you can watch them here class 1 and here class 2.

In this picture I gave a talk about the studies on QSO's dusty torus in the Astronomy Institute in spain in 2017.

Spreading science

The picture on the right-side was during a partial solar eclipse the last June 21th 2020. I went with my family to a park in South Korea. Then, we shared our solar eclipse sunglasses with people around. So, they could observe what was happening with the Sun! I felt glad by the expressions of people when they saw the eclipse.

Pictures below show a talk to preschoolers (left picture) about the Universe in the kindergarden Litte Stars. I made them an imaginary trip from Earth to galaxies. I explained that the Earth is part of the Solar System, that the Solar System is part of our galaxy, the Milky Way, and that our galaxy is part of a bigger group of galaxies. Then, we made some galaxies using craft materials (right picture).

I believe that to have a happy and balanced lifestyle, we have to cultivate our spiritual life.
