Jilberto Zamora is a faculty member at the School of Exact Sciences at Andrés Bello University. He holds a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering from the Federico Santa María Technical University and a Ph.D. in science, with a concentration in physics, from the same university. He also completed postdoctoral research at the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR, Dubna, Russia).
His specialty is phenomenology in elementary particle physics, with a particular focus on neutrino physics, CP violation (charge-parity symmetry violation), processes that violate lepton number and/or lepton flavor, and cosmic ray physics.
In recent years, he has shown interest in and become involved in experimental particle physics, particularly in computational simulations of particle passage through matter. In this context, he participates in the Atlas, NA-64, and SND@LHC experiments, all located at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN).
