I am not working in Mexico City anymore...

logo IPNI am currently an Operations Staff Astronomer at ESO, spending my time between Santiago de Chile and the VLT at Paranal Observatory.

I now have the amazing opportunity to work on and operate the most advanced optical telescopes ever built by the man kind.

logo IA-UNAMI will try to keep working closely with some of my collaborators at the Instituto de  Astronomía (IA-UNAM) where I really enjoyed beeing a postdoc for two years. 

I also wish good luck to my former colleagues  Isaura Fuentes-Carrera and Hector Castañeda for their research and teaching assigments at Escuela Superior de Física y Matematica of the Instituto Politecnico Nacional. I am sad to leave México and the great students and people I had the chance to meet while teaching there. On the other hand I am very happy to have freed myself from this suffocating place  and its heavy, passable, and corrupted administration. This is my own opinion, of course.
