Teaching

I am currently (since March 2013) the Chair of the undergraduate program in astronomy of the University of Concepción (UdeC) in Chile. In July 2009, I joined its Department of Astronomy where I teach to students of the astronomy career. My favorite subjects are extragalactic astrophysics, observational cosmology, and galaxy spectroscopy.

In previous years, I have been invited lecturer at the Johns Hopkins University and the University of California at Riverside (UCR). At UCR, I also assisted in the supervision of students working on the reduction of multi-object spectroscopy data and the interpretation of galaxy spectra. Between 1994 and 1998, in addition to being an undergraduate physics student, I worked as a teaching assistant of several courses in physics and astronomy for undergraduate students in science and engineering at the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile.
