I'm a member of the Knowledge Based Systems Group since September 2006 , where I'm doing my Ph.D. research under the supervision of Thomas Eiter.
I'm interested in Computational Logic in general, and particularly in the context of Knowledge Representation and Reasoning.

About Me
Before my PhD, I obtained a European Masters in Computational Logic in 2006, after studying at the Free University of Bolzano and in the Vienna University of Technology.I was born in Puebla, Mexico. I studied Computer Science at the Universidad de las Americas, Puebla where I obtained a B.Sc. degree in 2003 and a M.Sc. in 2004.
More details can be found in my CV (pdf).
Some awards and scholarships I have received in the last years:
- For my Master Thesis, I received the OeCG
Foerderpreis 2007 awarded by the Austrian Computer Society (there
is a press release in German with a photo here
and here),
the OeGAI Preis 2006
from
the Austrian Society for
Artificial
Intelligence, and the the Best Thesis Award of the European Masters
in Computational Logic.
- The Google Europe Anita Borg Memorial Scholarship 2007, given to female students in CS and related fields on the basis of their academic performance and community commitment. There is a small press release (in German) with a picture here.
- A doctoral grant from CONACYT, the Mexican Science and Technology
Council.
- Erasmus Mundus grant given by the European Commission.
