About
I'm an Assistant Professor of astronomical instrumentation at the Universidad de Chile. I completed my PhD at the University of Toronto (David A. Dunlap Institute) and earlier degrees at Universität Bonn/MPIfR and Universidad de La Frontera. My research focuses on radio-optical sub-second transients and localization, VLBI, and fast optical/radio instrumentation, especially holography for radio telescopes from centimeter to sub-millimeter wavelengths. My PhD work centered on detecting fast radio bursts (FRBs) with VLBI using a 3000 km baseline between Canadian telescopes.
