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.
