I am a Digital Humanities postgraduate student at University College London. My current research is on the application of medical image processing methods to recover information from ancient damaged documents. My advisors are Dr. Melissa Terras from the Department of Information Studies and Dr. Adam Gibson from the Department of Medical Physics and Bioengineering.
I recently finished my MA in Humanities Computing under the supervision of Dr. Stan Ruecker at the University of Alberta. My research centered around an rich-prospect interface: the Texttiles Browser, an experiment in leveraging available metadata to visualize and browse medium sized text collections. My thesis title is: The Texttiles browser: an experiment in rich-prospect browsing for text collections.
My research interests are visualizations, image processing and analysis, and the role of semantic metadata in information sharing. I am also interested in the web as an application platform to build environments that enhance communication, foster institutional transparency, and enable the free flow of information. I irregularly post relevant links and updates about my research.
I am also constantly amused by political commentary and the media in general, particularly about Ecuadorian politics.

I am fascinated with film cameras from the 60’s and 70’s, and lo-fi photography. I randomly post some of my pictures to flickr. You can check out some of the good ones.
