Difusión y Transferencia


In 2016-2018 I obtained, jointly with Codina Cotar (UCL London), a Royal Society Pillinger International Exchange Award, for outreach and vulgarization on the project “The next-order term in the Hohenberg-Kohn functional”

I gave the following dissemination talks in Chile:

10/01/2019 “Que significa distribuir puntos uniformemente?”, SUMA 2019 popularization seminar for high-school
students, Santiago, Chile

02/10/2018 “Que significa distribuir puntos uniformemente?”, Futuro Novato popularization seminar for High
School students, Santiago, Chile
