Research summary
I am a professor at
the
Astronomy
Department, Universidad de Chile, currently
working on planet formation from an obsservational
point of view. In general my areas of research involve
the study of circumstellar and interstellar media
through radio and IR/optical techniques. My previous areas of expertise include Photo
Dissociation Regions and radio emission mechanisms, in
particular on the physics of spinning dust. Here is an
example
in
Ophiucus . Another field I have worked on is
planetary
nebulae,
here is a result from 2006 .
