Who Am I ?

I am an Assistant Professor with the Department of Electrical and Systems Engineering at the University of Pennsylvania (Penn). I was born in Montevideo, Uruguay in 1975 where I lived until 2003. I received a B.Sc. degree in Electrical Engineering from the “Universidad de la Republica” in 1998 and worked for Bellsouth’s cellular operation in Uruguay for five years. I moved to Minneapolis, Minnesota on 2003 to study at the University of Minnesota (UoM). I received M. Sc. and Ph. D. degrees from the UoM on 2005 and 2007 and spent 1 year in a postdoctoral position. I started at Penn in 2008.

My research is in Signal Processing and Wireless Communications and Networking theory. I have active research projects in statistical inference in wireless sensor networks, fundamental properties of wireless networks and wireless protocol design. I received student paper awards at ICASSP 2005 and ICASSP 2006. I am also a Fulbright Scholar.

More detailed information is available in my CV.

What's in here ?

This page is for my teaching and research at Penn. If you are looking for something specific, my list of journal papers is here, my list of conference papers here and my M. Sc. and Ph.D. theses here. You can also find brief high level descriptions of my research projects.

In Spring 2009, I will be teaching a class on Wireless Networking. Information and materials will be posted there as soon as I work them out.

In the personal section there are a few materials describing Uruguay's history, culture and place in the world. I once made a steel reproduction of a constructivist painting, a story I always like telling. My children are learning to write wikis. Their first attempts are here. Links to my friend's pages are here, to my collaborator's pages here and to various web resources here.
