In April 2020, I got my doctorate degree at the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile. Since March 2023, I have been an Assistant Professor in Transport Analysis and Data Science at the Urban Geography research section in the Human Geography and Spatial Planning Department of Utrecht University.

My primary motivation to pursue an academic career was teaching, which I still consider the backbone of successful and meaningful research. My primary research interests encompass the relationship between car dependency, sustainable transportation, and the impact of uncertainty in travel decisions through the analysis of multiple data sources, from passively collected (e.g. smartcard information) to surveys (e.g. discrete choice stated preference surveys). I am also concerned about cities increasing growth rate and its sustainability implications. Thus, I see public transportation and active transport as the alternatives to promote. To do so, I think it is also essential to understand private-car drivers' attitudes towards mobility, especially when encouraging a fairer use of the space.
