I am a full-time academic at the Faculty of Chemistry and Biology of the Universidad Santiago de Chile, USACH. I entered this university in 2016 through the award of a CONICYT project on "Insertion of Advanced Human Capital in the Academy." Since then, I have been developing Molecular Electronics and Electrocatalysis research areas. My main research objective is to "explore" and "exploit" redox molecules' electronic, electrical, and electrochemical properties at 1D and 2D levels (D=dimension). The latter is to search functional molecular building blocks as "active components" that could be applied in developing compact electrodic devices with applications in energy conversion systems. Additionally, I participate in the development of highly qualified advanced human capital by supervising the theses of undergraduate and graduate students, promoting teamwork interest in fundamental and applied science, and developing new experimental strategies. All this, with an ethical sense, moral responsibility, and social conscience, to solve specific problems of society through scientific and technological innovation.
