My track record in human capital training reflects sustained supervision and mentorship in strategically relevant areas for contemporary research, including computational social science, artificial intelligence, data science, and complex systems. Since 2021, I have supervised 6 Ph.D. students, 38 Master’s students (distributed across Data Science, Engineering Science, and Systems Engineering programs) together with 1 undergraduate thesis as co-supervisor and 1 ANID-funded postdoctoral fellow. Through this work, I have contributed to the formation of advanced human capital by training researchers in quantitative methods, computational modeling, interdisciplinary problem-solving, and the production of scientifically rigorous and socially impactful research.

My research has placed strong emphasis on dissemination and transfer, both within academia and toward society, public institutions, and applied decision-making environments. This has included publications in high-impact international journals, invited book chapters, presentations at leading conferences in computational social science and network science, and the organization of academic and outreach activities that strengthen interdisciplinary communities. Beyond scholarly dissemination, I have actively promoted knowledge transfer through the development of digital platforms and applied projects in education, public deliberation, political behavior, and school coexistence, translating computational social science research into tools with potential value for public policy, institutional decision-making, and social innovation.
