Biography

     

From June 1972 to February 1984, my work in Informatics was exclusively professional, getting specialized in the area of Databases (in Argentina, in Mexico - where I lived from April 1977 to October 1982 -, and a few months in Paraguay). Then, from March 1984 to August 1994, I began to teach part-time at the University, while still working professionally. During that time I became increasingly interested in theoretical aspects of databases, and in research. Specifically, in September 1991, I formally initiated my scientific formation in the area of Database Theory and in Complexity Theory, starting my Doctorate studies. I got my Doctorate degree in October 1996, but since 1993 I am fully devoted to research and teaching.

In April 2002 I joined Massey University as Associate Professor in Information Systems.
