- Efficient use of water resources for irrigation - Agronomic management of table grape rootstocks in the northern zone - Use of hydrogels in agriculture - Use of physiological indicators to control irrigation in table grapes

In my years dedicated to teaching I have participated in the formation of human capital through the chairs that I have directed and in which I have participated as an associate professor, I have also been advisor or director of undergraduate and postgraduate theses.

In the last 16 years I have developed a series of initiatives with public financing related to carrying out applied research in relation to the efficient use of water resources, in the Atacama, Coquimbo, Valparaíso and O'Higgins Regions, all of them with a strong dissemination component. and transfer of knowledge to agricultural producers and related extensionists. Among the most outstanding in which I have participated:
