Teaching experience
In my perspective, teaching is a crucial aspect of both scientific and personal development. My experience in this field covers both academic and non-academic areas, where the first include all the responsibilities associated to lecturing both undergraduate and graduate students (preparation of theoretical/practical content and exams, lecturing,etc.), in disciplines as informatics, marine ecology, instrumental analysis, and marine chemistry. Below is a list of such activities I carried out in Chile and U.S.A:
2014: Invited lecturer for the graduate course “Marine Chemistry” (MAR503), Stony Brook University, Stony Brook, New York, US. (Under the supervision of Dr. Cindy Lee and Dr. Kirk Cochran).
2014: Invited lecturer for the Undergraduate/ Graduate course “Environmental Instrumental Analysis” (MAR303), Stony Brook University, Stony Brook, New York, US. (Under the supervision of Dr. QingZhi Zhu)
2013: Teacher assistant for the Undergraduate course “Long Island Sound: Science and use” (MAR 101), Stony Brook University, Stony Brook, New York, US. (Under the supervision of Dr. Jackie Collier and Dr. Roger Flood)
2006-2008: Research mentor for Undergraduate research in marine sciences, under the supervision of Dr. Silvio Pantoja. University of Concepcion, Concepcion, Chile.
2002-2005: Teaching assistant (lecturer), Marine ecology for undergraduate marine biology students, Department of Oceanography, University of Concepción, Chile. (Under the supervision of Dr. Billie Ernst and Dr. Olga Aracena).
2000: Teaching assistant (lecturer), Basic informatics for undergraduate marine biology students, Department of Oceanography, University of Concepción, Chile. (under the supervision of Dr. Olga Aracena)
