His research interests include soil mechanics, soil dynamics, soil liquefaction and experimental soil mechanics. His work focuses on the development of advanced methods for liquefaction analysis, the study of the geotechnical behavior of mine tailings and the integration of geotechnical engineering in outreach projects. In addition, he shows an active interest in teaching geotechnical engineering, fostering the connection between research and academic training.

D. in Geotechnical Engineering from the École des Ponts ParisTech, Paris, France, specializing in soil liquefaction phenomena and their evaluation by means of dynamic penetration tests of variable energy. Civil Engineer and Master in Construction from the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile. His research interests include soil mechanics, soil dynamics, numerical modeling of geotechnical problems and the study of the properties and geotechnical behavior of mine tailings. In addition, he teaches several specialized courses in geotechnical engineering, focused on soil mechanics and advanced methods of geotechnical analysis.

At the USS, he teaches several courses in the field of geotechnical engineering, with special emphasis on soil mechanics and foundations. The content of these courses is enriched with advances from his research in soil dynamics, numerical modeling, and soil behavior. This approach promotes applied learning, integrating real cases and recent developments, with an emphasis on projects that have a positive impact on the geotechnical field.
