Interview in PuntoEdu (PUCP) — August 21, 2026

Standard

PuntoEdu, the institutional magazine of my alma mater, the Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, interviewed me about my recent appointment as co-spokesperson of GRAND, together with Zhang Yi (Purple Mountain Observatory, Nanjing). We also talked about TAMBO, the high-energy tau-neutrino observatory proposed for the Colca Valley in Arequipa; about using astrophysical neutrinos to look for physics beyond the Standard Model; and about what my undergraduate and MSc years at PUCP left me with — above all, the habit of doubting my own results first. The headline quote translates as “PUCP gives you the chance to do international-level science while staying more or less at home.”
