I sing every Sunday at church, and I like to create new songs and write poetry and short stories. My children also play piano and guitar, my wife plays tambourine and sings, and we try to play together. I love spending time with my family. I am an electronics engineer and professor, and I want to help young people consider choosing a life as a scientist or as an engineer working on big projects like DUNE or ATLAS, because in Latin America, we need more scientists and more science education. It&#8217;s the only way to develop our countries. I work on digital systems and FPGA design, and am involved with the photon detection system group working on the development of DAPHNE, an electronics board. I like technology &#8211; not only using it, but also understanding how it works and is designed. It&#8217;s very nice when you design electronics by yourself and you spend a lot of time working on it, and you finally see it working. It\u2019s a little similar to having a child.<\/p><\/blockquote><\/div>\n<div class=\"learnmore\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.fnal.gov\/pub\/science\/lbnf-dune\/index.html\">Curious about the project?
