My name is Jonathan Quirola. I was born in Quito-Ecuador, and I live in Quito, currently. I studied a bachelor in Physics at Escuela Politécnica Nacional. Like a bachelor's thesis, I developed a timing and spectral analysis of a sample of long GRBs under the supervision of Prof. Nicolás Vásquez. Also, I was involved in projects related to astroparticle physics with Prof. Vásquez.

Aftermath, in 2016, I moved to Santiago de Chile to study a master's in Astrophysics at Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile under the supervision of Prof. Franz Bauer. Like thesis, I developed an XSPEC convolution model to fit the emission lines of SN1996cr taking into account the Doppler shift effect and the geometry of the interaction (ejecta-circumstellar medium).

In 2018, I started my Ph.D. at Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile with Prof. Bauer. Currently, I am a postdoc researcher (working with Prof. Peter Jonker), working in a wide range of transient phenomena: GRBs, SNe, TDE, SBOs, at different energy ranges.

I love dogs and science.
