I’m an Associate Professor of
Computer and Data Science at the Data Science
Institute, Faculty of
Engineering, Universidad del
Desarrollo (2016-) in Santiago, Chile, a Fellow of
Telefónica Research & Development, also in Santiago, and a Research
Fellow of the ISI Foundation (2019-), in
Turin, Italy. I got my PhD in Cognitive Science (2005) from Carleton
University, in Ottawa, Canada. I did a post-doc (2004-2005) at the
Human-Oriented Technology Lab at Carleton, and became a senior
researcher there (2006-2008). I was an invited professor at the
University of Edinburgh (2006-2008) and moved to Chile as an Assistant
professor of Computer Science at Universidad de
Concepción
(2008-2016). I’ve published in high-performance computing (in a
somewhat previous life) and in computational social
science. Currently, my research focuses on using mobile and telephony
data for social good, data-driven policy and digital
transformation. At UDD/TEF I’ve been involved in industry and
government
research and development projects.
