- PhD in Technology and Communications Systems - Polytechnic University of Madrid, UPM, Spain (2012)
- Master in Optoelectronics, Microwaves and Communications Systems - Université de Montpellier 2, UM2, France (2006)
- Electronic Engineer - Universidad Mayor de San Simón, Cochabamba, Bolivia (2002).
Among his main areas of specialty and interest are:
- Radio communication systems.
- Atmospheric microwave propagation, millimeters and THz.
- Radiometheorology
- GNSS radiometry and meteorology applied to propagation studies.
- He worked between 2003 and 2008 in the Project Execution area at the engineering consultancy Eductrade (Madrid), supporting and coordinating the execution of projects in Cochabamba, Quito, and Madrid. Their participation in the deployment of the satellite Internet access network for colleges and schools in Ecuador stands out (Plan Amanecer Project)
- In 2009, she joined the UPM's Department of Signals, Systems and Radiocommunications as a Research Assistant. He has actively participated in propagation measures campaigns with the HB6 satellites, in Ka band, and Alphasat, in Q band, as well as in research projects funded by public bodies in Spain and the European Space Agency. Develop their doctoral thesis in the framework of the Terasense project, where they could be in the study of atmospheric propagation in the THz band.
- Upon his return to Bolivia in 2015, he joined the Bolivian Space Agency (ABE), where he stayed until March 2017. He held the position of Terrestrial Segment Engineer and later Project Coordinator. He promoted the relationship with Bolivian universities, and coordinated, together with UMSA, the completion of the 1st Diploma in Satellite Communications Systems, as well as a postgraduate scholarship program in China. Likewise, he coordinated the installation and commissioning of the MTGAS satellite meteorological images reception station, currently in operation at the Amachuma Earth Station.
