My Academic Introduction:

I studied mathematical engineering at the University of Chile. In 2002, I obtained my Ph.D. in Operations Research from the Operations Research Center at MIT. A copy of my cv is here: cv

My research interests concern optimization in general. In particular I am interested in convex optimization, robust optimization, complexity of algorithms, sensitivity analysis, condition number theory, computation, and applications of optimization to engineering and management science. A brief description of my current research interests is here.

My Non-academic Introduction:

I was born in Santiago, Chile. Here is a picture with my wife Andrea Strauss and our daughter Tatiana circa May 2002, pic, and a full family ensemble just after the birth of our son Sebastian, including our setter Nahuel, from June 2004 pic.

Non-academic interests include watching soccer (..I am a fairly enthusiastic fan of Universidad de Chile,) and running.
