 .
1977-1981 Food Irradiation (lab): He enters the Chilean Nuclear Energy Commission (CCHEN). Develops IAEA methods of chemical dosimetry. Designs and conducts research and development (R&D) irradiation experiments on hake, to optimize formulations with additives preservation using instrumental, chemical and organoleptic tests. He develops spectrophotometric techniques for monitoring chemical dosimetry on pilot production of packaged irradiated fish, fishing with the industry collaboration. Publishes articles on technological applications of ionizing radiation to redirect the action of CCHEN.
 .
1981-1989 Lithium and PhD (laboratory): Designs and conducts experiments on isotope separation of lithium in molten salt formulations with Electrochemical method addressing corrosion problems. Studied ceramic materials for thermonuclear use defining selection criteria to address R&D in Chile. Form working team CCHEN-CORFO, through which in 1983 proposed policies to encourage research and development in advanced technologies, promoting technological innovation. He is co-director on Electrochemical corrosion in molten salts Engineering Thesis of USACH and University of Chile.
  Analyzes the generation of postgraduates situation, with an utilitarian orientation to support industrial R&D in Chile, concluding on the urgency of  training them in Chilean universities targeting their publications in the domestic market in order to create a scientific critical mass of industry professionals. Investigates the thermodynamics of exchange processes and lithium isotope separation by chemical exchange between aqueous solutions and ternary lithium amalgam at room temperature in different formulations. He Obtains results and publications, in which obtained the first degree of Doctor of Sciences funded by the CCHEN awarded by the University of Chile in 1992.
 .
1986-1990 Industrial Ceramics (laboratory management): Seeking to develop pilot projects to transfer technology and knowledge management to the productive sector, creates and manages a family business in the area of export ceramics, Ars-Urba Ltd.

 .
1990-1994 Advanced Ceramics (laboratory management): Looking for business development, studying applications of ceramics in the biotech field, he designs and conducts experiments on the production of material in different formulations as a carrier of biocatalysts. Inventor of the first patent application for CCHEN, designs and conducts testing of a pilot plant for ultrafiltration, using support material produced and instrumentally characterized in the laboratory. He teaches and co directs ultrafiltration memories 1 Degree in Chemistry (U. de Chile), 2 Execution Engineering  in Chemistry (USACH) and 1 Hydraulics Civil Engineering (University of Chile).
 .
1995 PCCM® (Cajón del Maipo Science Park® , management): Researches location criteria and procedures used on the world to achieve local economic development, and extrapolates conclusions drafting a proposed Technology Park located at south-east of Santiago of Chile. The concept is finally approved by the Ministry of Housing and Urban Development in the municipalities of Puente Alto and La Pintana, enabling new agreement andalusia Plan Regulador. Install a Web site to promote the association of industrial companies around the Chilean Cajón del Maipo Science Park® , using the experience published abroad on industrial clusters. Enter the domain and install the website http://www.pccm.cl .
  Pension: As the level of contact is beyond their responsibility as a researcher for the CCHEN, and to continue the development of private initiative PCCM as independent and free from vested interests, it dissociates itself from the CCHEN, under a benefit pension through CUPRUM and initiates activities in the commercial field.
  Recycling (management and sales): Assists in the recycling of printing supplies to Juan Stipo. Linked to Heatex Ltd. develops marketing and Environmental Management Offices. In August 1997 participated in a business mission organized by CORFO-INTEC, to attend the Environmental Fair in Gothenburg (Sweden). Using the experience of visits to Swedish companies, related to treatment of industrial waste liquids and solids, provides a strategy for technology promotion and achieves the representation of a Swedish manufacturer of equipment for the recycling of industrial solid. Write on  Induambiente, Intl Ed (2000).
