I am a radio astronomer focused on short-duration transient events, such as fast radio bursts (FRBs) and neutron-star populations like pulsars and magnetars. My work centres on understanding their emission mechanisms and developing novel software and hardware techniques for their detection, with an emphasis on lowering the cost and complexity of the instruments involved.
I lead the Radio Transients Lab hosted at the Center for Astroengineering at UC Chile, a partner group of the Max Planck Society with active collaboration with the Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy, where we focus on sustainable transformative technologies in radio astronomy.
