I aim to detect and characterize accreting protoplanets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Proyectos<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>My research has focused on high-resolution infrared spectroscopy of young stellar objects, with an emphasis on measuring their magnetic fields and understanding how magnetism evolves during the earliest stages of stellar evolution. I also study protoplanetary disks, the environments where planets form, by characterizing their physical and kinematic properties with sub-mm observations. At UDP, I will work with Prof. Alice Zurlo to combine my expertise in spectroscopy, magnetism, and accretion with her expertise in high-contrast imaging to study accreting protoplanets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Puntos destacados<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Member of the ALMA eDisk collaboration.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Led the first magnetic-field survey of protostars.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>2022 UH M\u0101noa Merit-Based Research Award for scientific excellence.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>2024 Academia Sinica Postdoctoral Scholar Program Fellowship.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Publicaciones<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ui.adsabs.harvard.edu\/public-libraries\/i0ORM-LATHSFx6eIJjqCMA\">ADS Papers<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ORCID number: <a href=\"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8591-472X\">0000-0002-8591-472X<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Actividades extracurriculares<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Besides research, I enjoy dancing, reading, learning Chinese, and spending time with my family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cont\u00e1cteme<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>christian.flores1@mail.udp.cl<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/christianfloresg.github.io\/christianflores.github.io\/#\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Personal Webpage<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Joint UDP\u2013USACH YEMS postdoctoral researcher working on the formation and characterization of young stellar and substellar objects.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":8823,"menu_order":0,"template":"","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"disabled","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"disabled","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":""},"researcher-category":[255],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/astronomia.udp.cl\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/researcher\/8822"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/astronomia.udp.cl\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/researcher"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/astronomia.udp.cl\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/researcher"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/astronomia.udp.cl\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/astronomia.udp.cl\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/researcher\/8822\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8832,"href":"https:\/\/astronomia.udp.cl\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/researcher\/8822\/revisions\/8832"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/astronomia.udp.cl\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8823"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/astronomia.udp.cl\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8822"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"researcher-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/astronomia.udp.cl\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/researcher-category?post=8822"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
