Profile
Research/Clinical Interests
My research interests focus on the development of safe mechanical ventilation protocols for veterinary species, both in research and clinical settings. I also keep an interest in the study of ventilator-induced lung injury, specifically in the context of acute respiratory distress syndrome.

Biography/Professional Experience
I have been practicing anesthesia since I graduated from veterinary medicine in 2007. I received my degree in veterinary medicine from Universidad Mayor, in Santiago de Chile. After graduation I worked for a year at a local referral, small animal veterinary center, which was followed by a specialized internship in anesthesia at Cornell University. I then moved to Philadelphia to complete a residency in veterinary anesthesiology, from which I graduated in 2012, becoming an American board certified veterinary anesthesiologist the same year. After that I went back to Chile and completed a PhD where I studied the effect of extra corporeal techniques to support the lungs of pigs affected by acute respiratory failure. I then moved to the University of Montreal to work as a clinical anesthesiologist. In 2019, I took a position as a lecturer in anesthesiology at Cornell University.
