Formación de Capital Humano


During PhD formation, at the University of Bologna, I followed four undergraduate students. In the same way, at the University of Tarapacá, I followed two undergraduate students and one magister student. Now, at the University of Magallanes, I have two Doctorate candidates ready to work with me.
