Introduction
Currently works in the Department of mathematics at University of Chile, does research in Mathematics Education: in the secondary-tertiary transition in calculus for pre-service maths teachers and interdisciplinarily in the gap maths-society. She is running several initiatives to communicate mathematics. Got a diploma in science communication at university of Chile in 2021 and is author of the book "The great adventure of knowledge" together with Constanza Rojas-Molina for Planeta Group (2023).

This poster aims to introduce a methodology to shorten the gap of secondary-tertiary transition in calculus. For this, the poster will discuss the construction of two tasks created thanks to the advanced methodology and some theoretical tools of the didactics of calculus.
Millions of learners worldwide experience mathematics nowadays as an inescapable tool of cognitive abuse and punitive selection. Most traditional teaching thwarts natural human cognitive resources. Problem: We would like to contribute to alleviating the aforementioned cognitive abuse, sharing the insights afforded by our exploration of enactive and...
Charla sobre cómo comunicar matemática más allá de la divulgación y del modelo de déficit de la teoría de la comunicación de la ciencia.

Esta contribución muestra el estudio del trabajo matemático que desarrollan docentes en formación inicial en un curso de cálculo de primer año al momento de resolver una tarea de modelización matemática. La tarea se implementa en contexto de pandemia, en 3 etapas bien definidas; dos de ellas sincrónicas, en una sesión de taller grupal del curso con...
Charla que cuenta parte de los resultados de mi proyecto de investigación de comunicación matemática "¿Por qué las personas se alejan de la matemática? Historias en redes sociales". Dictada en el marco del conversatorio del Taller interuniversitario de enfoque de género en educación científica UBB-UCHILE.
Study of mathematical work carried by pre-service teachers in a first-year calculus course when they solve a mathematical modeling task.
The task is implemented in the context of pandemic, in 3 well-defined stages; two of them synchronous, in a group workshop session of the course with the use of collaborative whiteboards, and one asynchronous
En el presente trabajo mostramos tres tareas adaptadas de aquellas que se suelen proponer en un curso de Álgebra y Geometría en primer año de formación inicial de profesores, las cuales, entre otras cosas, tienen la particularidad de ser potenciales portadoras de un trabajo matemático completo (tareas emblemáticas en el ETM). En esta contribución p...
It is well known that every closed Riemann surface S of genus g≥2, admitting a group G of conformal automorphisms so that S/G has triangular signature, can be defined over a finite extension of ℚ. It is interesting to know, in terms of the algebraic structure of G, if S can in fact be defined over ℚ. This is the situation if G is either abelian or...
Given a compact Riemann surface $X$ with an action of a finite group $G$, the group algebra $\QQ[G]$ provides an isogenous decomposition of its Jacobian variety $JX$, known as the group algebra decomposition of $JX$. We consider the set of equisymmetric Riemann surfaces $\mathcal{M}(2n-1, D_{2n}, \theta)$ for all $n\geq 2$. We study the group algeb...

Given a compact Riemann surface X with an action of a finite group G, the group algebra Q[G] provides an isogenous decomposition of its Jacobian variety JX, known as the group algebra decomposition of JX. We obtain a method to concretely build a decomposition of this kind. Our method allows us to study the geometry of the decomposition. For instanc...
