Claudio Bunster Weitzman (Latin American Spanish: [ˈklawðjo ˈβunsteɾ]; born April 15, 1947) is a Chilean theoretical physicist.

[2][3] Claudio Bunster attended at Instituto Nacional General José Miguel Carrera, a prestigious public high school of Santiago.

Originally operating from Santiago, in 2000 this autonomous institute moved South of Chile, Valdivia, in the 40S parallel, where the search has expanded and deepened in the areas of life, our planet and the cosmos.

In addition to his research in theoretical physics and his work as Director of CECs, Bunster has engaged in public service.

This interest has led to joint work in science among CECs, the Army, Navy and Air Force of Chile and distinguished foreign institutions.
