Biography
Statement
A Sigma Xi Member since 2005, I'm honored to have this opportunity to serve as a member of the Committee on Nominations. Strong and qualified leadership is most important for any organization, and candidacies for key positions such as President‐Elect and Treasurer must be evaluated with great attention. This is a huge responsibility which I look forward to fulfill to the best of my competencies. I had the chance to serve on scientific boards and committees during my career, and my work of the past 30 years as senior researcher and science advisor to governments and universities gives me a good overview of the state of science and technology at the national and international levels and the main challenges that must be addressed.
