I studied at the Querétaro Institute of Technology, where I obtained the Computer Systems Engineering degree. In 1997 I obtained the MSc in Electrical Engineering, with Telecommunications opticon from the Centro de Investigación y de Estudios Avanzados del Instituto Politécnico Nacional, Guadalajara. In 2001 I got the PhD from Electronic Engineering in Digital Systems from Loughborough University in the United Kingdom.  

Currently, I am a full time researcher in the Computer Science Department at the National Institute for Astrophysics, Optics and Electronics. My research areas are: Data Compression, Cryptography and Steganography, Digital Systems Design, FPGA applications and Medical Imaging Applications. For 2009/2010 I am in sabatical leave  at CINVESTAV Guadalajara.

I have been involved in the organization or as a PC member for several conferences/workshowps (ReConFig, CCIM, JIISIC) and as associate editor of the International Journal of Reconfigurable Computing. I have participated as a reviewer for the IEEE Transactions on Forensics and Information Systems and Digital Imaging journals.  I have been responsable for some projects including the development of robust algorithms for radiological medical images watermarking (CONACyT) and for the development of an imagenology network for the main hospital of the Mexican Navy (CONACyT-MARINA).

I am member of the Researchers National System in Mexico, Level I. I am founder member for the IEEE Puebla Computer Society Chapter and I was its president from 2004 to 2006.
