<h3>Short Research Description</h2>
<div>
  <p>
    I got my PhD at the University of Chile Computer Science Department in 2020, in the topic of live programming for robotic behaviors.
    Currently, I am an assistant professor in the Software Engineering Section of the University of Southern Denmark since August 2021.
    Previously, I was a postdoctoral researcher in the Unmanned Aerial System Center (UAS Center) of the same university since March 2020.

    I am particularly interested in improving the way we build software for robots, drones and cyber-physical systems.
    This includes the way of how we test and validate these software and how developers interact with the software and the systems.
  </p>

<!--   <p>
    I entered the <a href="http://rych.dcc.uchile.cl" class="urlextern" target="_blank" title="http://rych.dcc.uchile.cl" rel="nofollow noopener">DCC robotics lab</a> because I noticed how specially difficult this problem is in the robotic area. In this lab I'm researching with one big, general goal; make the programming of robots easier to developers and non-developers. To do that, I work on <a href="http://pleiad.cl/LRP" class="urlextern" target="_blank" title="LRP" rel="nofollow noopener">LRP</a>, a live programming language for robotics behavior. I also work on <a href="http://mcamp.github.io/VizRob" class="urlextern" target="_blank" title="VizRob" rel="nofollow noopener">VizRob</a>, a set of visualizations to debug robotic behaviors.
  </p>

  <p>
    For both artifacts, I designed and conducted several experiment to measure the real impact of the artifacts and their respective software engineering techniques: live programming and meaningful feedback.

<h3>Organization and Teaching Experience</h3>

<h4>Cuac non-profit corporation</h4>
<div>
  <p>
    I am a founding member of <a href="http://ccuac.cl" class="urlextern" target="_blank" title="Cuac" rel="nofollow noopener">Cuac</a>, a non-profit chilean corporation for robotic education founded in 2021. 
    In particular, the corporation focuses on: (i) reaching the general population with down-to-earth robotic concepts; and (ii) teaching robotics to students or teachers who want to teach robotics to students, with a strong focus on gender and social equality on the students (i.e., the corporation actively looks on reducing the gender and social gap of its students).
  </p>
</div>

<h4>Robotic Community</h4>
<div>
  <p>
    In 2016 I co-found the first <strong>robotic community</strong> in the University of Chile. 
    In this community we bring together all the students in the university that are interested in robotics. 
  </p>

</div>
<h4>Duckietown Chile</h4>
<div>
  <p>
    As a result of the robotic community, we raised fundings and implemented a robotic course in the University of Chile inspired by the MIT class <a href="http://duckietown.org" class="urlextern" target="_blank" title="Duckietown" rel="nofollow noopener">Duckietown</a>. 
    We adapted this course from graduate students to second-year engineer students of Chile. 
    We appropriately called this course <a href="http://www.duckietown.cl" class="urlextern" target="_blank" title="DuckietownCL" rel="nofollow noopener">Duckietown Chile</a>.
  </p>

  <p>
    The main goal of Duckietown Chile is to introduce robotics to relative young students.
    We taught robotic concepts using self-driven vehicles as our main example.
    We incorporated the "business" metaphor of the MIT class, where students are not in a typical course, but they are applying to work in the Duckietown Chile business.
  </p>
</div>

<h4>Beauchef Robotics Challenge</h4>
<div>
  <p>
    In 2018 and 2019 I co-organized the Beauchef Robotics Challenge (BRC) with the robotic community, the digital fabrication laboratory of the University of Chile (<a href="http://www.fablab.uchile.cl" class="urlextern" target="_blank" title="FabLab UChile" rel="nofollow noopener">FabLab</a>) and the IEEE RAS student chapter of the University of Chile.
  </p>

  <p>
    In this competition, participants design, build and program their own line follower robots.
    An example of this type of robots can be found here: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VF5w7Ct5s8Q" class="urlextern" target="_blank" title="Robotracer" rel="nofollow noopener">video</a>.
    We have the complete streaming of our competition in <a href="https://www.facebook.com/timercrono1/videos/486302001864643" class="urlextern" target="_blank" title="BRC18" rel="nofollow noopener">facebook</a> (credits to the guys from <a href="https://www.timer-crono.com" class="urlextern" target="_blank" title="Timer-Crono" rel="nofollow noopener">timer-crono!</a>).
  </p>

  <p>
    All documents related to BRC are available in our own <a href="https://github.com/BeauchefRoboticsChallenge/" class="urlextern" target="_blank" title="BRC" rel="nofollow noopener">GitHub page</a> for anyone who wants to reproduce this competition.

<h3>Additional Information</h3>
<div>
  <ul>
    <li><strong>Competitive Programming:</strong> I participated in the <a href="https://icpc.baylor.edu/" class="urlextern" target="_blank" title="https://icpc.baylor.edu/" rel="nofollow noopener">ACM-ICPC competitive programming competition</a> from 2011 to 2015. In 2011, as a member of “los talentosos campesinos” (the talented peasants) team, we won the chilean competition. Then, as a couch, we won every chilean competition. Moreover, in 2012 and 2015 we classified to the world finals. In Chile, I was a member of the organizing team of the First Chilean Training Camp of Competitive Programming (<a href="http://campamento2015.progcomp.cl/" class="urlextern" target="_blank" title="http://campamento2015.progcomp.cl/" rel="nofollow noopener">ICPCCL'15</a>). This camp was open for chilean students to prepare them for the upcoming ACM-ICPC competition.</li>
