I grew up in Concepcion, Chile.

In January 2007, I received my degree in Mathematical Engineering from Universidad de Concepcion, where I worked on finite element methods for non-coercive problems with my adviser Prof. Gabriel Gatica. Then, in August 2007, I moved to Minneapolis, Minnesota where I worked on Hybridizable discontinuous Galerkin methods in general domains with my adviser Prof. Bernardo Cockburn. I obtained my Ph.D. in Scientific Computation with a minor in Mathematics from the University of Minnesota, in December 2011.

I have been in Newark, Delaware since January 2012 and I am currently a post-doctoral researcher at the Department of Mathematical Sciences, University of Delaware, working with Prof. Peter Monk.

I enjoy doing other things besides math! For example, I enjoy playing sports, specially soccer. I also enjoy cooking and traveling.
