About me

(Very) Brief vita

I was born in Corrientes, Argentina, one sunny morning in December 3rd, 1970. However, I have lived in Mexico since age 2, for which, for all practical reasons, I consider myself a Mexican (that's my official nationality now, too).

Currently I am living in West Lafayette, IN, a small town in the middle east of the U.S., whose main attraction (why I am here, anyway) is that it is home of Purdue University.

A longer history of my life can be found in my vita.

Previous lives

I finished my undergraduate studies as a Computer Engineer in the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), in theSchool of Engineering. My bachelor's thesis, entitled "UNAM/Cray Computer Security Project", was the foundation for the Computer Security Area, which I founded and was head of until I entered Purdue.

While I was finishing my studies at UNAM (and a couple of years after that), I worked at UNAM's Center for Academic Computing Services, in the Supercomputing Department, and later, as I already said, in the Computer Security Area.
