His main area of research corresponds to the search for a quantized theory of gravity, such as high curvature general relativity, f(R) gravity, Horava gravity, etc., through quantization methods for bound systems such as the BFV method. In addition, his research concentrates on the study of quantum corrections by means of quantum field theory: Feynman diagrams and calculations of different loop orders in effective theories, applied to the Casimir effect with the intention of focusing the theory on the experimental.

Claudio Bórquez graduated with a degree in Physics from the Universidad Católica del Norte in Antofagasta. He later obtained a Master's degree at the same university, whose research was developed on the Casimir effect and its different methods to calculate it. He obtained his PhD degree at the Universidad de Antofagasta and the subject of his thesis was the Quantization and Renormalization of the Horava Gravity theory. Beyond his academic activities, Claudio is dedicated to explore the quantization of different gravity theories and to study quantum corrections in theoretical physics. He currently holds a full-time professorship at the Universidad San Sebastian in Puerto Montt, Chile.

As a member of the faculty of the Faculty of Engineering, Architecture and Design, Claudio is dedicated to teaching students of civil industrial engineering and civil computer science in physics courses, such as mechanics and electromagnetism, and experimental physics laboratories.
