Biography

I received Ingeniero Civil Electronico and Magister en Ingenieria Electronica degrees from the Universidad Tecnica Federico Santa Maria, Valparaiso, Chile in 2000. In 2005, I was awarded a Ph.D. degree from The University of Newcastle, Australia. I have been a visiting researcher at various Universities, including ETH Zurich (Switzerland), Uppsala University (Sweden), Aalborg University (Denmark), Kyoto University (Japan), KTH Stockholm (Sweden), and Universidad Tecnica Federico Santa Maria (Chile).

In 2009, I was awarded an Australian Research Fellowship by the Australian Research Council.

Research expertise

My research has focused on several issues which arise in networked control systems, quantisation schemes having explicit or implicit feedback, and predictive control formulations.

To develop original and high-performance designs, I am interested in combining elements of systems control, signal processing, and telecommunications.
