Hola, vengo de Peru, donde tenemos una tradiccion astronomica que se remonta a civilizaciones pre-Incas. Mis objetivos principales son determinar las propiedades fisicas y quimicas de estrellas frias (FGK), estudiar la evolucion de los elementos quimicos en el Universo, descubrir gemelas solares y caracterizar estrellas con sistemas habitables en la Via Lactea.

Hi, I'm from Peru, where people have been studying the Sky since ancient times, even before the Incas. I'm working on the physical and chemical properties of cool stars (FGK), the evolution of the Chemical Elements in the Universe, Solar Twins, and the fundamental properties of possible host stars of habitable systems in our Galaxy.
