Prior to my current position, I was an Early Career Fellow in the Law of Obligations at the University of Edinburgh (2022/23) and a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the University of Oxford (2021/22). I completed my PhD at the University of Edinburgh. I earned my first degree in Legal and Social Sciences from the University of Chile, followed by an LLM in European and Comparative Private Law at the University of Edinburgh. I have been a visiting and exchange student at Université de Strasbourg, Universität Heidelberg, and Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin.

List by: Type | Date

I welcome inquiries from prospective PhD students interested in research in Tort Law, Comparative Law broadly contrued (theory, methodology, etc), Defamation, Privacy Protection, and Personal Injury compensation. I am particularly keen to supervise projects that engage with comparative and doctrinal approaches, as well as those exploring emerging legal challenges in these areas.
