image 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 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) before moving to UDD in Santiago. 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 non-traditional data sources. At UDD/TEF I’ve been involved in industry and government research and development projects.
