Teaching & Mentoring

Drawing on extensive experience in university teaching, academic coordination, and curriculum development in Chile, I approach mentorship as both scientific training and professional development.

Teaching experience

My teaching background spans university instruction, academic coordination, and curriculum development in Chile across psychology and related disciplines. That experience continues to shape how I structure research training, translating scientific concepts into clear, hands-on learning for students at different stages.

Mentoring approach

I mentor students from psychology, neuroscience, data science, and related fields, including undergraduate and research trainees at Columbia University and Barnard College. I aim to support both rigorous scientific development and broader professional growth, helping trainees connect theory, methods, and clinical relevance in their work.

Interdisciplinary training

Clinical & behavioral track

From mechanisms to measurement

Foundations in developmental and clinical neuroscience, the study of mental health disorders such as anxiety and depression, and quantitative approaches to measuring behavioral and therapeutic processes.

Computational track

From raw data to reproducible models

Curating multimodal datasets — EEG, behavioral, speech, and clinical — extracting and validating features, and building models with reproducible workflows.

Responsible research

Across projects, I emphasize informed consent, de-identification, data privacy, reproducibility, and the responsible use of computational methods in clinical research.
