My name is Cristián, and I am currently working at The Qt Company as a
Senior R&D Manager in the Qt Foundations area, in charge of the Qt Core
(Berlin) team, and the
Qt for Python project.
Additionally, I'm one of the main developers on the
Qt for Python project, focusing my work
mainly on PySide.
I spent most of my spare time in Open Source initiatives, mainly focused in
Python. Besides being the co-organizer of Python Chile,
I am also associated to Python España,
and with many people we started an initiative called
Python en Español, which aims to be
a central place for the whole Spanish Speaking Python community.
I got elected as a
PSF Director in July 2024, which is a role I still have.
I got my Doctorate in Astrophysics at the
Max-Planck-Institut für Gravitationsphysik (Albert-Einstein-Institute),
working on the numerical modeling of Black Holes binaries, and Globular clusters.
To achieve this, I performed astrophysical N-body and SPH simulations,
using High Performance Computing resources and tools, mainly GPU
computing.
In the past I got my Engineer and Master degree in Informatics (Computer Science)
at the Universidad Técnica Federico Santa María in Chile,
from which I got the motivation of working with applied HPC simulations.
