BIO

My work addresses the relationships between music and religion, music and masculinity, music and verbal language, and music and violence, as well as Nueva Canción, Doom Metal, and popular musicians. Between 2020 and 2023, I worked as scientific staff at the Institute of Musicology of the University of Vienna, where I received my PhD in November 2023. Previously, I completed a bachelor’s degree in music theory and a master’s degree in musicology at the University of Chile.

My research has been supported by several institutions, including the Austrian Academy of Sciences (Post-DocTrack in 2024-2025, DOC-Stipendium in 2020-2023, and GO. INVESTIGATIO in 2022), the City of Vienna (Research Fellowship in 2024), the European Commission (Erasmus+ Teaching Mobility in 2022), the Chilean National Agency for Research and Development (PhD Abroad in 2019, declined), the University of Chile (Graduate Student Scholarship in 2017), and the Ministry of Cultures, Arts, and Heritage of Chile (Funding for Research Projects in Music in 2015 and in 2018). My work has also been distinguished with first place in the Otto Mayer-Serra Award in 2022, the 100 Young Leaders Award in 2023, and the Dissertation Prize in Musicology of the University of Vienna in 2024. I have presented my research at numerous conferences in Europe and Latin America and published articles in prestigious academic journals such as the Journal of the American Musicological Society, Musicological Annual, Acta Musicologica, Resonancias, and Cuadernos de Música Iberoamericana. In 2024 I published my first book, ‘Tráenos tu reino de justicia e igualdad’: Mesianismo y Nueva Canción Chilena, edited by Ariadna.

I have also taught courses on Latin American Nueva Canción, Music and Religion, Metal Music, Ethnography of Music, and Music Analysis at the University of Vienna (2023-2025), the Autonomous University of Barcelona (2022), and the University of Chile (2018-2019).
