I was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina. I received a BA degree in Civil Engineering from the University of Buenos Aires (UBA), and a BA in Computer Science from the same university. I worked as a civil engineer in environmental projects from 1984 to 1994. In 2001 I got my PhD in Computer Science from the University of Buenos Aires. My PhD thesis studied updates and time management in OLAP. I have been teaching at the Computer Science Department at UBA, from 1987. I have been an invited professor at the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid in 1997. In 1998 I joined the Systems Division at the Universidad de Belgrano, Buenos Aires (with a DBA position), where in 2001 I was appointed vice-dean of the School of Engineering and Information Technology. In 2003 I joined the University of Toronto as a postdoctoral fellow, and lecturing the Data Management Systems course. After that, I returned to the University of Buenos Aires, lecturing the courses on Fundamentals of Data Warehousing and Database Systems, and as Vice-Head of the Department of Computer Science. During 2006 I was visiting researcher at the Computer Science Department of the University of Chile. During 2008-2009 I was visiting researcher at the University of Hasselt, working for the GeoPKDD project. I Chaired the Masters Program in Data Mining at the University of Buenos Aires, Facultad de Ciencias Exactas y Naturales from March 2005 to March 2010. In 2010 I was appointed Associate Professor at the Universidad de la República, Uruguay, at the Institute of Computing.
