About me
I'm an Assistant Professor at the Pontificia Universidad Catolica de Chile and member of the part of the Software Engineering & Intelligent Systems laboratory (SEIS Lab).
Research interests
I'm interested in creating tools and techniques that help programmers develop and maintain software applications. Also, I enjoy evaluating tools through empirical evaluations with developers.
My research interests center on software engineering, specifically in the fields of software visualization, performance, maintenance and evolution, testing, mining software, and empirical evaluations.
Experience
I'm an Assistant Professor at the Pontificia Universidad Catolica de Chile and member of the part of the Software Engineering & Intelligent Systems laboratory (SEISLab).
In 2023, I obtained a Ph.D. degree in Computer Science at the University of Chile. From 2018 until 2022, I was a member of the Intelligent Software Construction laboratory (ISCLab) at the University of Chile.
In 2017, I worked on Semantics S.R.L. doing software development tools and research on software comprehension, testing automatization and languages. Previously at midyear of 2017, I obtained the Informatic Engineer degree at the Universidad Mayor de San Simon, Bolivia, with my project of visualization of software evolution supervised by Alexandre Bergel.
My CV is available online.
