Perspectives for Contribution to the Hub:

I aim to contribute to the Europlanet Colombia Hub by strengthening the participation of the Astronomy Student Research Group and leveraging the academic and technical infrastructure of Pontificia Universidad Javeriana Cali in the areas of astronomy, astrophysics, and planetary sciences. Through this collaboration, I seek to promote student involvement in scientific research and foster academic exchange by supporting student mobility, internships, and participation in workshops, seminars, and international events organized by the Hub. Additionally, this partnership would allow the university to expand its outreach and scientific engagement while contributing to the growth of a collaborative planetary science network in Latin America.
