Research Interests

I am interested in researching Chilean poetry of the 20th century, contemporary Chilean sociocultural and historical narratives, and aesthetic criticisms of contemporary thought and culture. Furthermore, I am very interested in discourse analysis, especially in the area of textual linguistics. I have collaborated in research related to automatic text processing, especially creating taxonomies that facilitate the recognition and classification of named entities.
