I was born in La Plata, Argentina. I've lived in India, Brazil, and a dozen other countries worldwide. I love travel and exploration, music, good beer, and soccer. Additionally, I'm passionate about understanding the neural mechanisms underlying consciousness. As a University of California, Berkeley alumni in Computer Science and Cognitive Neuroscience, I'm particularly interested in computational neuroscience.

I'm a SRAII/Junior Specialist at the Knight Lab in UC Berkeley's Helen Wills Neuroscience Institute. There, I study, among other things, large-scale connectivity and information flow in the brain during cognitive processing, and developing measures for real-time attention tracking and biofeedback.

Additionally, I'm interested in wearable Brain-Computer/Machine Interfaces (BCI/BMI). As a 2006-2007 research intern at Palo Alto Research Center, Inc (formerly Xerox PARC), I've developed research along these lines.

I am also a musician (guitar,bass,percussion,vocals,lyrics) and currently working with fellow musicians on developing my first album (a bossa-nova/jazz/indy-rock influenced style combined with instrumental elements and solo pieces).

 I'm currently in the process of selecting from top U.S. graduate programs for the Ph.D. in Computational Neuroscience/Cognitive Science.
