I was born and raised in Montevideo, Uruguay. I studied law in Uruguay, and then emigrated to Israel, where I did my B.A. and master in political science at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem. In 2011, I came to the US to do my PhD in political science at the University of Florida, which I completed in 2018.
My doctoral dissertation examined the effects of policing and police violence on residents of South Los Angeles and São Paulo’s peripheries. I am interested in continuing to examine the effects of policing in low-income communities. I am also interested in studying the import of U.S. policing strategies into Latin America and Latin American politics in general.
I have published articles in the Journal of Social Justice, International Studies Perspectives, and International Studies Review. I have published op-eds in L.A. Progressive and Nueva Sion (Argentina).
I am married and father of two boys. As a proud Uruguayan, fútbol (soccer) is my religion, it is “90 minutes of the best sport in the world!”
