Applied Research and Advisory Work

This work involves the application of sociological and network-based methods to the analysis of complex organizational, scientific, and policy systems.

Science and innovation systems
I participated in the National Scientific Council of the Astro-Informatics program of the Chilean Ministry of Economy, providing conceptual and methodological guidance to a multidisciplinary advisory board composed of astronomers, computational scientists, and engineers. In this context, I led research on the structure and evolution of the global astro-informatics community, integrating bibliometric analysis with qualitative data collection. This work was supported by the Chilean Association of Information and Technology Companies (ACTI), CORFO, and related innovation programs.

I have also worked as a researcher at Epistemonikos (Chile), contributing to evidence-based knowledge systems in health research.

Public policy and organizational networks
I have worked as a consultant with ARSChile on applied network analysis projects for public institutions and international organizations. These projects include collaborations with ministries in Chile—such as Housing and Urbanism (MINVU), Social Development and Family (FOSIS), Environment, Agriculture, and Education—as well as international organizations including UNESCO.

Across these engagements, my work involves network analysis, bibliometric and relational data analysis, and the integration of qualitative and quantitative evidence for policy interpretation and decision-making.
