I am a faculty member in the Department of Political Studies at Faculty of Government, Universidad de Chile. My research focuses on political participation (both electoral and non-electoral), comparative politics, and labor unionism.

I currently lead a project on the political impact of protest campaigns in Latin America (Fondecyt No. 1251051) and serve as principal investigator of the  Millennium Nucleus on Political Crises in Latin America (CRISPOL). I am also a co-investigator in a project on urban uprisings in the region (Fondecyt No. 1240777) and another on protest dynamics (Fondecyt No. 1220385).

I completed my undergraduate studies in sociology at the University of Chile and hold an MA in Sociology, an MA in Political Science, and a PhD in Political Science from the Pontifical Catholic University of Chile.
