About
I am from Chile, a beautiful long and narrow piece of land in South America. My wife Lilita and my baby daughter Josefa are with me in this journey to the US for my graduate studies. I studied Ingenieria Forestal [Forest Engineering] in Chile (at the Universidad de La Frontera), and since graduation in 2000 I have been mostly working in forest biometrics topics, and focused them on natural chilean species and forests. Some years later (actually in 2004), I came to the US with my wife for studying a Master of Science (M.Sc.) in Statistics at the University of Idaho (Moscow, Idaho, USA). After finishing my M.Sc. (2006), and continuing with my graduate education, we moved to Yale University (New Haven, Connecticut, USA) for pursuing my doctoral studies. On May 2007 we have received our first baby, my beautiful little princess “Josefa”, who has arrive to give us enormous joy to our life.
