For the Coloquio de Matemáticas at Universidad Javeriana, I gave the lecture Teoría de modelos contemporánea: ¿una visión lógica de la geometría? in May of 2016.

Semantics on Sheaves (Topological, Metric, etc.). Isfahan, 11/15
At the IPM Institute in Isfahan (Iran) I was invited to give a lecture on Semantics on Sheaves (Topological, Metric, etc.) in November 2015.
Model Theory, now becoming more geometric? The case of modularity. Tehran, 11/15
In November 2015, this colloquium lecture at the IPM Institute in Tehran, called Model Theory, now becoming more geometric? The case of modularity.
Model Theory of Abstract Elementary Classes: some recent trends. Tehran, 11/15
Here are (very sketchy) notes for a minicourse called Model Theory of Abstract Elementary Classes: some recent trends. I gave that minicourse at the IPM in November 2015. The four two-hour sessions were:
- Day 1: The early days of AECs
- Day 2: Stability Theory of AECs
- Day 3: Stability Theory of AECs (II)
- Day 4: Connections with Set Theory
- Appendix: more examples
Festschrift José Luis Villaveces. Bogotá, 8/15
Durante el Festschrift en honor a mi padre, José Luis Villaveces, en la Academia Colombiana de Ciencias Exactas, Físicas y Naturales, tuve el honor de dar una charla. Fue la primera vez que hablé sobre conexiones entre la teoría de modelos y la química, y lo hice de manera (en ese momento) muy tentativa. La charla se tituló ¿Existe una teoría de modelos de la química? (un diálogo, tres décadas – química y matemática).
De la charla salió también el artículo en un volumen de la Academia en 2017: ¿Hacia una teoría de modelos de la química?
Categoricità, dalla teoria dei modelli alla teoria degli insiemi? Torino, 6/15
For the Logic Seminar at the University of Turin in June 2015 I gave the lecture Categoricità, dalla teoria dei modelli alla teoria degli insiemi? (Categoricity, from Model Theory to Set Theory?)
Model Theory for Modular Invariants. Helsinki, 5/15
During the Helsinki Model Theory Days (University of Helsinki, Mathematics Department) in May 2015 I gave the lecture Model Theory for Modular Invariants.
Grasping smoothly and letting go: categoricity and location. Helsinki, 5/15
The Helsinki Collegium for Advanced Study invited me to give a lecture in the interdisciplinary meeting Getting There and Falling Short, where a number of art historians, linguists, mathematicians, philosophers, artists, etc. were invited to reflect on language’s ability of grasping concepts and its own shortcomings. My lecture (Grasping smoothly and letting go: categoricity and location) focused on categoricity and the problem of location.
