Short CV


2019 - present: I recieved my PhD in Astronomy at the University of La Plata, Argentina, thanks to La Plata Stellar Evolution and Pulsation Research Group. After that, I moved to the USA to become a Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of Colorado Boulder. Today I am a RyC Postdoctoral Researcher at the Polytechnic University of Catalonia in Barcelona, Spain. Research Interests: Stellar evolution and pulsations, Stellar energy sources, Physical processes in stars, White dwarf stars, Stellar population synthesis studies, 3D Magnetohydrodynamical models of convection, Solar Physics
