Resumen

PhD in Physics, full Professor at the University of La Frontera (UFRO) was founder & Director of the first Master's Program in Medical Physics of Chile and founder & current Director of the Center for Physics and Engineering in Medicine (CFIM) of the UFRO Leader of the research group in Physics of ionizing radiation. He has participated with more than 150 presentations in international and national events, has made and participated in more than 20 projects of applied physics, mostly as responsible. He has more than 80 publications and and around 14 patents and inventions applications. He has been invited to numerous Conferences in the area of radiation, Medical Physics and XRF as Lecture. He has developed a method of inter graphical comparison, a new EDXRF spectroscopic method while doing his PhD in Physics. Between 2008 and 2010, he developed a device capable of obtaining images of the spatial distribution (images) of chemical elements (Fondecyt). Since 2010, he has been developing, together with his research group, a new convergent high-energy photon-X or electron radiation therapy device (CONVERAY®), whose first prototype concluded at the beginning of its installation and testing phase (Corfo, Fondef). Also, since 2013, he has been working on the development of OXIRIS a new technology for detection and treatment (theranostics) of cancer based on large confocal device, nanoparticles and high energy X-ray fluorescence (Fondecyt). Now he will start a second Fondef project to bring the CONVERAY prototype closer to the clinical stage.
