Lecturer in Computer Science at UTFSM, Campus San Joaquín, from 03-2014. Before: Postdoc at University of Bristol, UK. Specialized in Machine Learning, Optimization and Statistics. Doing research in support vector machines, non-linear convex optimization, randomized algorithms, dimensionality reduction and applications to text analysis.

As a full-time professor at the Department of Informatics of the Federico Santa Maria University I teach to students in a regular basis. Typically, I give the course of Computational Statistics in the Campus Santiago San Joaquín of the university, to undergraduate students, each semester. In addition I give more specialized courses like: Machine Learning and Intelligent Data Analysis, to undergraduate and postgraduate students, at least once per year. I usually supervise students for the completition of their graduation projects (something like a thesis, but for undergraduates). Till now I have only (co-)supervised one post-graduate Master thesis. In the next years I should supervise other Master thesis as well as PhD thesis.
In the last year, I had two students working as research assistants. Their graduation projects will be related to topics of this proposal.
