Biography

I obtained my PhD degree at Université de Poitiers (France) in September 2014 with the thesis entitled “Mirror symmetry and special elliptic fibrations on K3 surfaces”. In this work, I studied K3 surfaces, automorphisms and mirror symmetry for a class of K3 surfaces. I moved to Chile in 2014, with a postdoc position at Universidad de Concepción first and then at Universidad de La Frontera. I’m currently professor at Universidad de La Frontera. My research topics are K3 surfaces and their automorphism, toric varieties, mirror symmetry and related topics.
