Presentation

I am an electrical engineer and researcher focused on the development of control techniques for multi-agent systems. Specifically, my research has been recently concentrated on distributed control of microgrids. In relation to the industry, I account with expertise in developing Research and Development (R&D) projects for the energy sector.


Critical Thinker Engineer Innovator

I have been a member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) since 2015. Within IEEE, I participated in societies such as the IEEE Industrial Electronics Society and the IEEE Power & Energy Society, where I developed my skills to promote technological development for the benefit of humanity.

In my free time, I contribute as a reviewer of scientific articles for journals published by IEEE, MDPI, and Elsevier.

Research lines 📝

My research interest relies on the development and application of distributed control algorithms. Complementary subjects of my research include intelligent control and robust control of agent systems. For industrial applications, I have developed controllers for electrical microgrids and power electronics devices. Specifically, my research has sought to solve the economic dispatch problem (energy optimization) of microgrids and multi-microgrids, as well as to enhanced controllability over front-end converters.

Industry collaboration 💼

Support is offered to companies interested in formulating and executing technological development projects with transfer potential. Professional services are also offered for conducting training workshops and specialized engineering consulting.


Brief biography

I was born in Punta Arenas, Chile Chile Flag, but I lived a significant part of my childhood in Asunción, Paraguay Paraguay Flag. In the year 2009, I have started my professional training in Electrical Engineering at the University of Magallanes, Chile. My training at the university was conducted within the program of Electrical Civil Engineering. The "Civil Engineering" is a six-year undergraduate program that combines an engineering discipline — like electrical engineering — with economics and administration (a very common degree type to pursue in Chile). In 2013, I received a Bachelor's Degree in Engineering Sciences. Subsequently, in 2015, I finished my training obtaining the professional title of Electrical Civil Engineer, with the highest mark rank among the Engineering Faculty.

As a graduate, I followed some training such as a Diploma focused in Antarctic Affairs, and entrepreneurship courses. At that time, I started to work in both, academia and industry. In academia, I worked for the University of Magallanes, as a part-time honorarium lecturer and analyst of the Direction of Research. As for the industry, I mainly worked as a project engineer for the oceanographic and marine energy company Alakaluf Ltda. From the experienced collected from these jobs, I learn all about project formulation, management and development. Also, I developed personal skills for working with groups.

My endeavour to research training started in mid-2018 when I leave my job at the University of Magallanes to pursue a PhD degree in Electrical Engineering with the Microgrids Control Laboratory of the University of Chile, Chile. My path led me to take several courses, such as intelligent control, power electronics control, and smart grid technologies. I was supervised there by Prof. Roberto Cardenas Dobson. Since October 2020, I was pursuing the Dual Award PhD degree between the University of Chile and the University of Nottingham, UK Chile Flag. Specifically, I worked with the Power Electronics, Machines and Control Group (PEMC), where I was supervised by Prof. Serhiy Bozhko, and by Prof. Marcos E. Orchard from the University of Chile side. I graduated in 2024.

From 2024, I worked as a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Institute of Engineering Sciences of the University of O'Higgins, supervised by Associate Professor Claudio Burgos Mellado. In 2025, I became an Assistant Professor at the Institute of Engineering Sciences of the University of O'Higgins, and I am part of the Laboratorio de Sistemas de Conversión de Potencia Eléctrica (SCoPE Lab).
