I earned my Ph.D. in Informatics with highest honors from Pierre et Marie Curie University (Sorbonne University) at the Institut des Systèmes Intelligents et de Robotique Institut des Systemes Intelligents et de Robotique (ISIR) in 2010. I also hold a Ph.D. in Engineering Sciences in Computer Science from Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, completed under a jointly supervised doctoral program for which I received a scholarship from the Collège Doctoral Franco-Chilien in 2007, and a Master’s degree in Computer Engineering, approved with highest distinction from the University of Santiago de Chile in 2004. In 2013, I was awarded a research mobility fellowship funded by the French Government to work at the Institut de la Vision in Paris on a large-scale project aimed at restoring vision to blind individuals. My research focuses on image processing, industrial applications, and human-computer interaction.
Beyond my research contributions, I am deeply committed to education and student mentorship at both undergraduate and graduate levels. This dedication has been consistently recognized through teaching excellence awards across different institutions and programs: I was honored as Best Professor of the Faculty of Engineering at Universidad Diego Portales (UDP) in 2010 and 2013, Best Professor of the School of Informatics and Telecommunications in 2011 and 2013, and Best Professor of both the Master in Data Science (2021, 2024, and 2025) and the Master in Artificial Intelligence (2023). To further strengthen my pedagogical practice, I completed effective learning workshops at Harvard University through the LASPAU exchange program, and hold international certification as an International Engineering Educator (ING.PAED.IGIP), granted by the International Society for Engineering Pedagogy.
I am currently a Professor at the School of Information and Telecommunication Engineering, within the Faculty of Engineering and Sciences at Universidad Diego Portales (UDP), Chile. My research spans four interconnected areas: image processing, computer vision for industrial inspection, the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), and fault prediction through pattern recognition.”
