About me
I am a Chilean Ph.D. student in Information Science at Cornell University. My research focuses on how political processes shape technology policy and technology (political process -> tech policy -> technology) and, in the other direction, how technologies shape political processes (technology -> political processes). My work aims to bridge the HCI and technology policy communities.
I work with amazing professors Cristobal Cheyre (advisor), Qian Yang, and Malte Ziewitz.
Before arriving at Cornell, I worked at the Chilean Government, where I led the creation of the Chilean AI policy and participated in multiple technology-related initiatives. I hold a M.Sc. and B.A. in System Engineering from Pontificia Universidad Católica, Chile. My M.Sc. advisor was Julio Pertuze.
I love mountaineering, reading (especially science fiction and fantasy), and playing the bagpipe.
I'm also starting a Startup to help think and construct the future through collective action: Foresight. We have been involved in many projects, such as developing the Latin American AI Index with CENIA, and implementing UNESCO's Readiness Assessment Methodology in Chile and Dominican Republic.
