I am in charge of the administrative execution of research projects, financial reports, yearly budgets, contact with suppliers, collaborators, lab visits, clinical evaluations and professional training. I am also responsible for the continuous education programs and public relations. I am also the coordinator of the Ph.D. program in Neuroscience at Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile.

My research focuses on understanding the function, organization and the spontaneous neural dynamics of attention networks and their coordination with the Default Mode Network (DMN) using intracranial (iEEG/ECoG) and surface (EEG) electrophysiological recordings in humans. I am also interested in describing and defining the role of intracranial oscillatory dynamics useful for mapping cognitive functions and the cartography of the propagation of seizures in epileptic patients. For this, I have developed a functional localizer which is used along with intracranial recording and high-density EEG in order to delineate functional electrophysiological anatomy among patients. Analytically, I resort to neurophysiological network mapping (iEEG/EEG), classifiers and functional connectivity analyses, seeking to understand the electrophysiological bases of spontaneous coordination between neural networks in health and disease.

Ph.D. (c) in Neuroscience. My interest is centered on developmental cognitive neuroscience, specifically in the development of cognitive functions such as attention, working memory and executive functions. I am also interested in understanding how environmental factors can contribute to determine typical or atypical development courses. Under the co-supervision of Dr. Cristian Rojas, my current research focuses on understanding the effects of a working memory training program on the development of attention networks in preschool children with and without early symptoms of attention deficit and hyperactivity / impulsivity disorder.

I am a Ph.D. candidate in Medical Sciences at Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, currently focused on Neuroscience research. I decided to pursue doctoral level studies in order to carry out a more trans- and multi-disciplinary research that would contribute to one of the most relevant health and social problems today: Depression. That is why, in my doctoral thesis, with the co-supervision of Dr. Marcela Henríquez, I am exploring the identification of genetic, electroencephalographic and psychophysical markers with potential use in the clinical diagnosis of depressive disorder. In addition, I am a founder and part of the executive committee of the Ciencia Impacta foundation.

I am a Ph.D. candidate in the program of Neuroscience at the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile under the supervision of Dr. Carolina Mendez and the co-supervision of Dr. Maria Rodríguez Fernández. My thesis explores and establishes the cerebellum's role in language lateralization and function and evaluates changes in the cerebro-cerebellar white matter tracts due to age and presence of lesions. I use BOLD and tractography analysis methods to work with data from healthy and lesioned brains. My interests lie in academic research and teaching, and I would like to continue working in BOLD and tractography analyses focusing on language and mood disorders.
