Fernando Pérez¶
A brief summary of where I come from... I was born in Medellín, Colombia[1], where I did my undergraduate studies in Physics at the Universidad de Antioquia. From there I moved to Boulder, Colorado, where I completed my PhD in particle physics, before spending a few years as a post-doc in Applied Mathematics. In 2008 I moved to the San Francisco Bay Area, where I now work at UC Berkeley, on research involving algorithms and tool development in neuroimaging.
I am a scientist and a geek, and thus I spend much of my time in front of either the computer or a book. If not there, you may find me climbing (hopefully outdoors!) and probably with a camera.
I also have a blog, where I mostly post items of interest related to IPython, SciPy and scientific computing in Python. I haven’t been able to really get caught up in the whole blogging thing, so it’s rather sparse. But people tell me it’s useful so I may try to post more, we’ll see...

Berkeley, CA 94720-3860Yes, it’s spelled like that, with two 'o’s. Columbia with a ‘u’ is a university in New York City. It’s not that hard: ColOmbia is a cOuntry, ColUmbia is a University.
