Research Experience and Publications

Master thesis
Adviser: Dr. Fabio De Colle
I am studying the structure of jets associated with Gamma Ray Burst through numerical simulations of hydrodynamic equations, in order to predict effects on the afterglow emission.
Publication: The Effects of Initial Conditions on The Dynamics of GRB Jets end Their Afterglow Emission. (In preparation)
Statistical Study of Latinoamerican Scientific productiviy in Theoret- ical High Energy Physics
2014-2016
Adviser: Dr. Wolfgang Bietenholz
We consider the productivity of research papers in specialized high-impact journals, and the corresponding numbers of citations. In addition we in- vestigated how these records are correlated with three socio economic indicators: GDP, HDI and EI.
Publication: G. Urrutia, L. Prado & W. Bietenholz,“Theoretical High En- ergy Physics in Latin America from 1990 to 2012: a Statistical Study”, arXiv:1708.04342.
