About
I obtained a J.D. with
high honors from Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM) in 2001. My
J.D. thesis, which was published as a book in 2002, was awarded the Octavio
A. Hernandez Prize for the best thesis in Constitutional Law, by the Legal
Research Institute of UNAM. I am now concluding my Ph.D. in philosophy at Rutgers University. My dissertation is a
philosophical analysis of the literature on the psychology of time. I am a
member of the Visual Attention Lab, at Rutgers,
where I designed experiments with Zenon Pylyshyn and Harry Haladjian. I am
also a member of the International Society for the Study of Time (ISST),
and received the New Scholar Award from the ISST in August 2007. My
research interests concern mainly metaphysics, the philosophy of cognitive science,
mind, perception and time but include the philosophy of science, human
rights and applied ethics.
