My outreach activities are grounded in the conviction that advanced computational tools must also serve society. I have

impact of classic engineering tools in interdisciplinary fields like the cardiovascular research. Similarly, I have co-written
articles for the general university community (not necessarily engineers), about how numerical simulations have changed
some paradigms in the hydraulics field (https://eic.pucv.cl/2024/04/04/columna-de-opinion-2/). Each of my publications,

Additionally, I have participated, presenting and organizing, two dissemination events for the general public, dedicated
to foster advanced fluid dynamics topics for non-expert publics, with both national and international invitees (see attached
proofanddepartmentheadletter). Also,Ihavegivenatalkonphilosophicalaspectsofartificialintelligence,inaseminarfor

participating in the DistritoV21 event to connect academia with the local companies, particularly emphasizing in the good
administration of hydric resources, a critical topic for the region (see attached proof). I have also started contact with a local
enterprisededicatedtotechnological transfer (ETTSpA),withwhomIhavedoneexploratorystudiesonhowtopluginverse
strategies from my research, intoreal Chilean mining problems (see attached proof).
Being part of the committee of the Chilean congress on computational mechanics is also an outreach activity, as it moti-
vates student to dare to share their undergraduate works within a special environment of academics, students, and senior
researchers (see again attached letter from Dr. Marcela Cruchaga). Due to my strong commitment and participation in local dis-
semination activities, I have just recently been elected as part of the directory board of the Sociedad Chilena de Mecánica
Computacional SOCHIMEC (see attached e-mail screenshot).
In addition, I currently lead, jointly with the head of outreach of department, a French-Chilean plan to establish a cooper-
ation suit between PUCV and the École Spéciale des Travaux Publics, allowing for eventual double-degrees, share
students, and eventually also research. With the outreach head I do also convey statistical analysis about larga data-sets
of the high-schools that prefer our university department, designing inference tools to understand and control the ability
of our department to reach a broad range of teenagers to pick our career, including eventually also dissemination talks in
high-school institutios (see attached letter from our departmentoutreach head).

strates a clear trajectory of making advanced computational topics accessible and socially relevant. This outreach profile is
rare among early-career researchers in Chile and positions me to maximize the scientific, educational, and technological
impact of the proposed projectfrom day one.
