As associate professor at the Faculty of Economics and Business of the University of Talca (Chile), I inquire how people understand dynamic systems. The quest for how dynamic and complex situations are represented, how people use their understanding to generate decisions, designs and strategies and how this understanding can change over time is my research theme.The dynamics of systems also are the major topic of my teaching. I am an active member of the System Dynamics Society – currently the President Elect of its Policy Council. And as such, I actively strive to bring systems thinking and modeling to the school system.
