I'm a PhD in Computer Science from Tecnologico de Monterrey, Campus Estado de Mexico. My thesis project was "Modeling and Animation of Characters for Real-time Crowds ", under the "Virtual and Robotic Agents for Mixed Reality" grant at the Virtual Environments and Robotics Laboratory. My advisor is Dr. Isaac Rudomin.

I obtained my Master's Degree on 2004 at ITESM CEM with the thesis "Hair Paint" surpervised by Dr. Rudomin.

My research interests include modeling and Animation of Virtual Characters for crowds including expression modeling and animation of scanned facial models, rigging, level of detail techniques for crowd rendering, hair modeling and animation, real-time interactive virtual environments design. GUI design for facial expression and hairstyle modeling.
