He is an Assistant Professor in the Computer Science Department of the Physical and Mathematical Sciences Faculty at the University of Chile, where he works since 1988. He obtained the title of Computing Engineer in 1988 from the University of Chile and his PhD from the University of Paris VI in 1993.

His current research areas are concurrent and distributed programming languages. He is specially interested in structured concurrent programming, claiming that current methodologies of concurrent programming are too fragile for most programmers. He is promoting a new model for concurrent programming name as safe-threads which is more robust and easier to work with than the traditional model of multiple threads.
