Strategic development of space sciences in the Physics Department of the University of Santiago de Chile.

The project to be developed at the University corresponds to a mixture of research in space plasma physics and development of predictive models of space weather. In this way, my insertion in the Physics Department opens a line of research in inner terrestrial magnetosphere, mainly dynamics of the radiation rings, and interactions between the solar wind and the terrestrial magnetosphere. Additionally, the project contemplates a more applied line of space weather modeling and prediction using data science with both predictive and risk assessment objectives.
