I
came to Puerto Rico with a J1 scholarship (SCoRE program) to work as a Post-Doctorate with Dr.
Rafael Arce.
My
first real contact with “La Isla del Encanto”
was in September 2005…

Chile is a long and narrow country in South America, with
the Andes mountain range bordering one side and the Pacific
Ocean bordering the other. It is over 4,000 km long and has an
extremely diverse flora, fauna, scenery and climate. We have interesting
places like as the Robinson Crusoe Island was formed about three million
years ago when there was an extrusion of liquid magma from the bottom of the
ocean. Its part of the Juan Fernández
Archipelago which is located 667 km from the continent. Its geography is
characterized by a rugged and mountainous terrain and it has a Mediterranean
climate. Futhermore, we have the Rapa Nui National Park.
The park covers the whole surface of Isla de Pascua (named Rapa
Nui by the islanders).

I
arrived to Puerto Rico at 12:00 AM in September
with winter clothes…. After
that, I went to Fiestas de San
Sebastian… I have been in beautiful places, such
as El Yunque, Culebra and Vieques.
“The life is short… and the ignorance is

My academic background includes Bch. in Chemistry and Chemist
and Ph.D. in Chemistry. Research experiences include studies in antioxidant
capacity of polyphenols, polycyclic aromatics and phycobiliproteins (c-phycocyanine).
Actually, my research work includes the study of intermediates of 1- Nitropyrene, a well known mutagenic and carcinogenic
polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH). In this research I had used different
techniques, like HPLC and Laser Flash Photolysis (LFP).
