Hi all, I’m Elba. I’m an Assistant Teaching Professor here at the Allen School. I earned my B.S. in Computer Science from Columbia University and my M.Sc. in the same at Princeton University. I did my PhD studies at Texas A&M University with Daniel Jimenez, where I specialized in computer architectural prediction techniques. Intrigued? Confused? Come ask me about it! I’m originally from Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico, but moved to San Antonio, Texas when I was five years old. My hobbies include metal detecting, coin collecting, and sewing. I’m also a huge Formula 1 fan! If you ever need advice on the course, the computer science major, or have anything on your mind, be sure to come by my office hours and we can chat.
