TEACHING
2022: Plinius PhD course: Microfluidics for Microbiologists
Jul-Oct 2005:High school teacher. I developed outreach activities devoted to high school students under a joint project between Universidad de Santiago de Chile (USACH) and EXPLORA (foundation to foster children's interest in science). In the second stage of the project, I supervised students in developing a brief scientific project.
Apr-Jun 2005: Auxiliary teacher (physics mechanics laboratory). Universidad de Santiago de Chile (USACH), project between the University and EXPLORA foundation. At this first stage of the project, the students (High school) acquired basic lab skills in physics.
2003-2005: Auxiliary Teacher, Universidad de Santiago de Chile. Auxiliary teacher for the course “Topics in physics” offered to industrial engineers.
2001-2005: Lab assistant experimental physics for engineers of several courses at Universidad de Santiago de Chile.
October 2003: Scientific guide in museum. Santiago (Chile), Museo Interactivo Mirador (MIM), EXPLORA foundation (Conycit), collaborating with the exposition “Micro Mundo” (The micro world)
Aug–Nov 2002: Scientific guide in the scientific museum in Santiago (Chile). At the Museo Interactivo Mirador, I worked as a guide in the exposition “Materia Granular” (granular material)
