I was born in El Salvador and immigrated to the United States at the age of eight. I
received my Bachelor of Science in Mathematics/Computer Science (1985) from UCLA, and my
Ph.D. in Mathematics (1992) from UC Berkeley. I am currently Professor of Mathematics at
Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles, CA. My research interests center on
functional analysis, harmonic analysis and wavelets; among my other mathematical hobbies
are linear algebra and continued fractions. One of my other interests is working on
projects to increase the participation of historically underrepresented groups in
mathematics and the sciences, for example the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute
Undergraduate Program (MSRI-UP) in Berkeley, CA.
