Researcher

I am a Ph.D. in Computer Science under the supervision of Dr. Éric Tanter. My thesis was developed at the Pleiad laboratory of the Computer Science Department (DCC), University of Chile. After my Ph.D., I have realized many research stays at universities and institutes in different countries: Spain (2025), India (2024), Colombia (2021), Japan (2019), Colombia (2018), Japan (2014), Japan (2013), and France (2010).

I am interested in different topics related to software development (e.g., software engineering and programming languages). Additionally, I am interested in the application of agent-based models to predict social behaviors (e.g., Marketing).

To promote research in my academic unit and with my collaborators, I founded the research laboratory Pragmatics Lab. If you want to know more about this laboratory, please drop me a line at pleger@gmail.com.

Previous Projects

Before my PhD, I worked on weather forecasting at the CEAZA laboratory. I participated in two projects:

Stratosphere-Troposphere exchange processes and their impact on the ozone balance in the subtropics of the southern hemisphere: A multi-scale integrated study based at Cerro Tololo

Institutional Adaptations to Climate Change

I worked on prototypes of synoptic maps related to precipitation events using artificial neural networks.
