Título del capítulo en el centro de la tesis.

Título del capítulo en el centro de la tesis.

Quería colocar el encabezado del capítulo en el centro en lugar de a la izquierda. solía

\usepackage{sectsty}
\chapterfont{\centering} 

lo que colocó el título del capítulo en el centro pero comenzó casi desde la mitad de la página, lo que luce mal en mi tesis. Quiero que el título esté centralizado y que comience a una distancia razonable del encabezado de la página, como el "Resumen" u otras páginas de mi tesis.

aquí está mi archivo tex:
