Introduction

Hi there! Welcome to my personal page. For those who do not know, I am a Chilean-Bolivian sociologist. I majored in Sociology and Philosophy at the University of Chile, Political Science at the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile and earned a Master in Applied Statistics from the University of Nebrija. I have specialized in, published and taught on social and political theory, epistemology and philosophy of science, electoral systems, Human Rights and socio-political analysis. In the last decade and a half my reasearch and reflections have focused on Latinamerican sociopolitical processes, in particular, obviously, Bolivian and Chilean sociopolitical process.

Since 2018 I have been exploring and working in data science. My goal is to integrate it and take advantage of its potentialities in research, analysis and prediction of socio-political phenomena.

You can see what public access projects I am working on at this moment.
A compulsive reader since adolescence, some years ago I discovered photography, which has stolen a few hours a week from reading time. You can see some on this page .

I also have the bad habit of writing. You can see my publications (in Spanish). In the blog (in Spanish) you can read more informal and personal texts, not published elsewhere, generally dedicated to leaving a record of the work that I am doing or the things that I am discovering and learning in the process.

If you want to send me an encrypted document, here it is my public key (gpg)
