My research aims to determine the relationship between cortical reorganisation, motor-sensory function and chronic musculoskeletal pain, and how skilled motor training influence them.

As lecturer at the Universidad de Talca I had the opportunity to be the principal Baccalaureate thesis supervisor of 5 students. This allowed me to gain experience as a researcher since I had to develop the ideas for my students’ projects and supervise their methodological quality along with the coordination for setting up the experiments. This was an invaluable experience for my career since this motivated me seeking for higher levels of education in order to develop a good quality research.

I have collaborated with the Human Motor Control Laboratory of the Universidad de Talca as researcher and technical advisor during 2016-2017 period. Also during the last three years I have been in contact with different institutions across the country promoting communicating and promoting science. In 2016 I delivered 3 plenaries talks at: Universidad Católica del Norte (campus La Serena), Universidad de Talca, Asociación Chilena de Ciencias del Movimiento Humano (Santiago).
As Chilean student overseas I have promoted Chilean research I co-founded the Chilean Student Association at University of Queensland (UQChile). As president of this association, I participated in the organising committee of the 4th Chilean Graduate Conference in Australia. We were granted of two grants to found the conference: fondos concursables “ChileGlobal” of fundación imagen de Chile ($5.000.000 pesos) and 2016-2017 COALAR grants of Council for the Australian Latin-American Relations (10.000 AUD).
