Born in Mexico City. Received Bachelors in Science degrees in Physics and in Mathematics from the University of Texas at Austin, and Masters in Science and Doctorate in Physics from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Doctoral thesis was on the effect of equilibrium flow for heating of laboratory and space plasmas. In 1990 joined Hughes STX Corporation to work at Goddard Space Flight Center on magnetospheric physics.

Head of the ISTP Science Planning and Operations Facility and member of the GSFC Magnetospheric Modeling Group. Head of the Hughes STX Space Physics and Multidisciplinary Science Group supporting the GSFC Space Science Data Operations Office.
