Trayectoria profesional
Lorena Gerli es Licenciada en Química y Química Marina por la UCSC y Doctora en Ciencias con mención en Química por la Universidad de Concepción.
En 2009 ingresó a la planta académica de la Facultad de Ciencias de la Universidad, donde se ha desempeñado como Secretaria Académica y Jefa de Carrera de la carrera de Química Ambiental.
En el área de investigación ha participado en proyectos internos y externos, y liderado proyectos institucionales como InES de Género y Ciencia Abierta.
La Dra. Gerli cuenta con la categoría académica de Profesora Asociada, y en 2021, fue nombrada como Directora de Investigación de la Casa de Estudios, cargo que ejercía previo a este nombramiento.
