He is an assistant professor in the Faculty of Theology at the Pontifical Catholic University, where he is a member of the Manuel Larraín Center. His main area of interest is fundamental theology, particularly the dialogue and articulation between theology, history, and modern mysticism. His membership in the Society of Jesus also links him to the exploration of the fruitfulness of Ignatian spirituality in the development of contemporary theology.

He earned a degree in Philosophy from Alberto Hurtado University and then studied for a Bachelor’s degree in Theology at the Faculty of Theology of the Pontifical Catholic University of Chile. He completed his canonical licentiate in theology at the Centre Sèvres – Facultés Loyola in Paris and then continued his studies at that institution, obtaining a doctorate in theology and, at the same time, a doctorate in history from the Institute of History at the Pontifical Catholic University.

His research work has focused on the theological thought of Michel de Certeau and Henri de Lubac, the intellectual and cultural history of the Society of Jesus in Chile and France in the 20th century, and the history of abuse of power and sexual abuse in ecclesial contexts. His research projects and numerous publications delve deeper into these lines of work. We highlight his Fondecyt initiation project entitled “The impact of new Francophone theological trends on the evolution of Chilean social Catholicism (1931-1979)” and the research project “Louvain (-la-Neuve)/Santiago: circulation of knowledge and people, 20th-21st centuries. Catholic cultures, theologies, social justice, and abuse of power. Funded by WBI-Bruxelles and AGCID Chile.
