I come from the Basque Country, in North Spain. I earned my Computer Engineering degree at University of Deusto and stayed for one year in their Ph.D. program. As a Ph.D. student, I was part of the DELi research group. I transfered to UVA in Fall 2006 and earned my Master of Computer Science on May 2008. I am grateful for the financial support of Fundacion Caja Madrid from 2006 to 2008.
Research
While I was part of the DELi research group at University of Deusto I conducted research related to the Open Archives Initiative protocol for metadata harvesting.

Projects
During my Ph.D. studies I have participated in two Open Source projects: zOAC and BES++.zOAC: The Open Archive Cataloguer (zOAC) project applies the OAI-PMH protocol for automatic metadata harvesting and aggregation of bibliographic records and has been developed over the web application server Zope. Based on Pentila's ZOpenArchives Zope Product.
