Starting November 2008, I will be working for Intel in Santa Clara, CA. Before that, I will be working on my
dissertation, with a 6-week break to teach in the Summer High School Program at Columbia University and volunteering at SIGGRAPH'08
in Los Angeles. In the process, I
keep working, among other things, on my half-edge library, which is
becoming more mature and useful.

A lot of time has passed and I have 3 papers in the pipeline that I have to flush out before I focus on writing my dissertation. I
am also looking for a full-time job, interviewing with a few companies and visiting some of them. Unexpectedly, the process
is as fun as it is exhausting (as a byproduct, my frequent flyer mile count is skyrocketing).

Summer is gone. I ended up not accepting the offer from Google (and another from Apple =D )
in order to do some research and try to get a SIGGRAPH paper next year. It may be my last chance
to do so while in grad school. I surely hope so!

So I will most likely be working at Google Zurich this summer.
It will be nice being close to home, and working at the place to be,
according to US News.

I recently started working in IBM Research for this summer,
I got a new paper published (in SIBGRAPI 2006, in Braziiiiiiil!),
and was awarded a CalIT/Emulex fellowship to work on Geometry Compression, my intended thesis topic.
Talk about ego boosting!

After a couple of reviews, I got another publication! It is my
third journal paper, and it's an extension on a previous method published in CGI 2005.

me: today
I am a computer science Ph.D. student at UC Irvine.
I live half of my time at the
computer graphics lab, where I work and drink coffee.
I've had the chance to publish some papers,
although I still have to break the SIGGRAPH curse.
I am interested in an internship position for this summer, preferably in a research
institution (although all interesting offers will be considered) working on something
at least tangentially related to geometric processing.
Now you can check my resume and hire my services!
me: bio
I was born and raised in Granada, a beautiful town in Southern Spain.
There I went through a typical local life, playing soccer in the street, enjoying Perico Delgado and
Indurain win the Tour de France and going every weekend to my parents' place in the country,
a country house close to Charilla, a tiny village
of <600 inhabitants.
And then I finished high school and entered college at the Universidad de Granada. Studying didn't leave
me free time to play rugby more or less seriously anymore, although I could still join the CS School Rugby Team,
also known as I.R.C. (Informatica Rugby Club, I know, pretty dorky).
Hey! The original website is still alive! I was the captain
back then, and I pridely hold the record as leader of probably the worst rugby team ever. Also, we were some
of the most hardcore partying crew in town. I wonder if that was related...
Where was I... Ah! College. Well, I did pretty well, won an
EAP scholarship
for coming and doing my last year
in UC Irvine, which was happened to be of the most enriching experiences I've had, in many senses
(one of them being meeting my girlfriend, Sherry).
After one summer job hunting back in Spain, I worked in a large engineering firm in a boring
8-6 job (more 9-7 usually... damn alarm clock!). I didn't enjoy Madrid too much (now I regret),
so I turned back to California in late 2003, from where I am typing these letters for you,
brave reader.
