Ph.D. in Science with a concentration in Physics from the University of Chile. Currently principal investigator of the Fondecyt Iniciación project “Transient Monte Carlo in a research nuclear reactor with individual beta-delayed neutron precursors and comparison with time-dependent reactor experiments,” whose objective is to develop transient Monte Carlo simulations of nuclear reactors that account for the time dependence due to the emission of beta-delayed neutrons, as well as conducting experimental measurements in the RECH-1 nuclear reactor to validate the simulations.
He is also a co-investigator on the Fondecyt Regular Project “Cosmic Ray Neutron Spectroscopy and Local Variables Simultaneous Measurement Studies throughout Chile,” led by Principal Investigator Dr. Francisco Molina.
Research Areas:
– Analog and non-analog Monte Carlo simulations applied to transport processes in nuclear physics
– Nuclear reactor physics
– Neutron spectroscopy.
