Nací en Viña del Mar (Chile) en 1943. Hice mis estudios de liceo en Quilpué. Entre 1961 y 1965 seguí la carrera de profesor de historia y geografía en el Instituto Pedagógico de la Universidad de Chile.
En 1967 viví un año en Leipzig, Alemania, con una beca para hacer estudios de postgrado. En 1972 tuve mi primer cargo de profesor, en la Universidad del Norte de Antofagasta.
En marzo de 1974, como tantos otros chilenos, me fui del país. Partí a Canadá con mi familia y al año siguiente, en enero de 1975 comencé a enseñar en la Université du Québec en Montreal(UQAM), a tiempo parcial. En 1982 pasé a ser profesor reemplazante y desde 1987 soy profesor regular en esta institución.
El año anterior, en 1986, completé mi doctorado en historia, que hice en la Université de Montreal. En Montreal me he interesado en las actividades comunitarias. He sido colaborador de Desarrollo y Paz y de la Liga de Derechos y libertades.
Fui vicepresidente del Consejo chileno de Quebec entre 1990 y 1992 y luego fui uno de los fundadores de la Asociación de profesionales chilenos(PROTACH), de la cual fui su presidente, entre 1998 y 2000.
Soy casado con Miriam Maruri, también profesora, a quien conocí en mis tiempos de estudiante en el Pedagógico. Vivimos en Longueuil, municipalidad de la ribera sur, muy cerca de Montreal. Una de mis tres hermanas y mi madre viven también en Longueuil. Tenemos un hijo, Felipe, que estudió la carrera de Comunicaciones en la UQAM.
Soy jugador de tenis (clase B en Montreal, segunda categoría en Chile) y muy aficionado al fútbol, en especial en lo que se refiere al Everton de Viña del Mar, mi equipo favorito. Además del español y el francés, puedo leer y comunicarme en inglés y comprendo el alemán, el italiano y el portugués.
A partir de enero de 2011 comenzaré una nueva etapa de mi vida, ya que ocuparé mi cargo de profesor universitario a media jornada solamente, lo que será una semijubilación. Esta situación se mantendrá hasta agosto de 2014, fecha en que mi jubilación será definitiva. Pero hasta entonces seguiré manteniendo este sitio al día, y continuaré dedicado a la historia.

Presidente "Amigos de la KIDMA Hashomer Hatzair Chile" ( Movimiento Juvenil Sionista Chileno) sobre su historia hice un estudio cuyo libro fue publicado en Chile 2007 e Israel 2004 en español y hebreo.(foto adjunta en el acto del lanzamiento sala Bernardo O'Higgins, Ministerio RR.EE).
Presidente Emérito de la Asociación de Regantes de Israel, Ex Director de la Escuela Secundaria Kibutzim ¨Maayan High School¨. etc.etc.
En el año 2002 salió una descripción de la Empresa de Riego con agua rehusada a presión de la Empresa que levante en 1984 en nuestro Valle que hoy abastece 26 Millones de mcu. Por la F.A.O.de la NU. Que es el sistema modelo a nivel Mundial.
En 2003 levanto la Asociación Agrícola Ecológica Regional la planta de Biogás que resolvió el problema del Estiércol la cual produce electricidad verde además de aportar fertilizante pasterizado. Es por hoy la más grande del Mundo ya que recolecta el estiércol de los establos entre Haifa y Tel Aviv.
En 2007 con mi amigo Dr. Daniel Fridman hicimos una Investigación Regional sobre este Valle Hefer, trabajo que fue pedido por el Gobierno de Israel. Replanificamos la Agricultura y su riego dando hincapié en los beneficios económicos, medio ambiente, conservación de suelos y acuíferos, aumento de producción y mejora de calidad de los productos. Llegamos a la conclusión de fomentar el uso de agua desalizada la cual económicamente, salud etc. etc. solo trae beneficios.
Por ello las autoridades nacionales decidieron adelantar los proyectos de plantas a lo largo de las costas de Israel ya que es un aporte económico, además de ser una necesidad de existencia.

Quote
"The essential content in any educational program – whether on syntax, biology, physics, mathematics, or the social sciences – is that which makes possible discussions of the mutable nature of natural reality, as well as of history, and which sees men and women as beings capable not only of adapting to the world but above all of changing it"
Paulo Freire
Areas of Academic Interest
- Climate Change Mitigation;
- International and National Renewable Energy Policies;
- Rural Electrification;
- Educational and Capacity Development Networks;
- New Media and Communications.
My work is focused on developing practical policy solutions to climate change through collaborative efforts. I am particularly interested in strategies to develop all renewable energy sources to their full potential and in finding new ways to communicate effectively about solutions to climate change and energy problems.
During my work outside of academia I have observed first hand the growing need for professionals with better training to address environmental problems. That is why I decided to join FES and become part of an outstanding group of people which are in the unique position to collaborate in the education of the next generations of problem-solvers and innovators.
Major research projects
Currently I am actively engaged in the development of the Sustainable Energy Initiative a new research and training effort that involves the Faculty of Environmental Studies, the Toronto Region and Conservation Authority, the Energy Institute of Centennial College and leading international organizations.
For 2010-2011 I am also focusing on initiatives to help improve the exemplary renewable energy programs that are now in place in Ontario and also in research aimed at developing and promoting new climate change mitigation strategies and renewable energy initiatives in key countries of the Americas.

1996 Consultant, International Institute for Energy ConservationWith CEC funding, interviewed Mexican industrial and commercial facilities to examine energy efficiency in-house practices and where they got their expertise, and co-authored a report on findings. Project focused on companies having operations in all three NAFTA countries to examine whether they shared energy efficiency information and the institutional setup for dealing with energy and efficiency.
1991 to Graduate Student Research Assistant, Energy & Resources Group, University of California, Berkeley. 1995 As part of the Ph.D. research, and with funding from the John D. & Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, UC Mexus, and Tinker Foundation, examined the potential for saving electricity in Mexican homes and then, programs and policies to capture such savings opportunities. Became a participant-observer through extensive interactions with Mexicans to promote more efficient lighting technologies (e.g., over 10 residential CFL projects), institute minimum energy efficiency residential appliance standards and energy labels (particularly for refrigerators), and improve knowledge of energy end uses and electric savings potential in Mexican homes. Mediated between government policymakers and private entrepreneurs/industrialists to help projects and policies advance. Organized an international conference: "Energy and Environment in Mexico's Residential Sector" in Mexico City, December, 1991.
1991 Consultant, Rocky Mountain Institute.Identified key Mexican contacts and served as liaison to Mr. Amory Lovins' trip to Mexico.

La educación secundaria la completó en la única línea existente, la humanista, en el Liceo de Hombres de Puerto Aysén (Así llamado, aún cuando mixto).
Cursó estudios Universitarios en Concepción obteniendo primero un grado de Topógrafo y luego de Licenciado en Física. Trabajó como profesor invitado en la Universidad Austral de Chile dictando cursos para el cuerpo de profesores de liceo que constituía la planta docente del departamento de Física de esa Universidad, trabajando bajo la dirección del decano Dr. Gustavo Masshetti.
Regresó a Concepción con un cargo en propiedad como instructor el que fue anulado por la dictadura en 1973. Viajó a Suecia como investigador en visita en donde obtuvo el grado de Doctor en Ciencias (Filosofi Doktor i Fysik) en la Universidad de Uppsala. Ha trabajado como investigador y experto en desarrollo industrial en ASEA AB, Central Research and Development Laboratory, Studsvik AB, Energy Technology, Instituto Tecnológico Real de Estocolmo (KTH) como jefe del Centro de estudios y medidas de sistemas de energía.
Posteriormente trabajó en su propia empresa de Consultoría científico-tecnológica SINPAR AB. Vendió su compañía para hacerse cargo de un departamento técnico especializado en el desarrollo de equipos industriales de microondas a alta potencia (10 a 60 kW, vulcanizado de goma, pre-cocción industrial, etc.). Posteriormente fue contratado por Ericsson Energy Systems AB como Jefe de Productos. Unos años más tarde se cambió a Ericsson Network Technologies AB como especialista en descargas atmosféricas y acoplamiento a tierra de sistemas de telecomunicaciones. Ha trabajado posteriormente en distintas organizaciones suecas y para la Comisión Europea en proyectos relacionados con los efectos biológicos de la radiación electromagnética.
Hoy trabaja como Senior Scientist en SAAB AB, Linköping, Suecia en proyectos tendientes a incrementar el uso de la energía eléctrica en aviones modernos (Airbus, Jas 39 Gripen, UAV: Unmanned Aircraft Vehicles, Aviones No tripulados). Es autor de muchas publicaciones científicas y tecnológicas y de varias patentes industriales. Ha dirigido la tesis de graduación de numerosos M. Sc., Ing. Civiles y algunos candidatos a doctor.

Hola amigos, con detención he revisado la página y si bien es muy completa, creo que es importante hacer cambios que la hagan más agradable de leer. Cuando para cada persona aparece el curriculum completo, se hace muy extenso. Una función muy práctica del blog es poner marcas (lo verán en el menú) donde aparece entonces la primera línea y luego, como link, la frase "Seguir leyendo...".
