Curriculum vitae (pdf)
 

I express my teaching and research vocation by identifying myself with these wise quotes:

  • “It is not from space that I must seek my dignity, but from the government of my thought. I shall have no more if I possess worlds. By space the universe encompasses and swallows me up like an atom; by thought I comprehend the world.” Blaise Pascal (1623-1662)

  • “Science is more than just a body of knowledge: it is a way of thinking.” “We are a way for the Cosmos to know itself.”
    Carl Sagan (1934-1996)

  • “Science is not only satisfied with vocation and competence, but requires a certain personal commitment ... “
    Ramón Margalef (1919-2004)
