I work in the field of supernovae in different aspects such as their progenitors and their use as cosmological distance indicators. I have mostly worked on thermonculear type Ia and hydrogen-rich type II supernovae. Lately I have been particularly interested in inferring the reddening towards supernovae and their local environments. I am keen on increasingly using statistical methods such as principal component analysis, clustering, gaussian processes, etc.

Trabajo en el área de supernovas en distintos aspectos como sus progenitores y su uso como indicadores de distancia para cosmología. He trabajo principalmente en supernovas termonucleares (tipo Ia) y ricas en hidrógeno (tipo II). Últimamente me he interesado particularmente en el estudio del enrojecimiento hacia las supernovas y sus sitios de explosión. Estoy cada vez más interesado en usar métodos estadísticos como análisis de componentes principales, análisis de grupo, procesos gaussianos, etc.
