My name is Andrés Marrugo, and I’m a professor of Mechatronics Engineering at the Tecnhological University of Bolívar in Cartagena, Colombia. My research interests are: digital image processing, medical imaging and computer vision.
These days I spend most of my time either at work with teaching, research, and meetings and stuff or at home with my wife and my two sons. Becoming a father has been an amazing experience, it has changed my life and the way I look upon life itself. When I’m not being the family guy or the professor, I’m usually fiddling around at the terminal (doing nerdy stuff), editing photos/videos of my kids, cooking (I love to cook), writing on my journal, catching up on my favorite blogs and podcasts, and–of course–blogging1.
Since 2010 I’ve been blogging on Between the Candle and the Star a blog hosted on wordpress.com. It’s been quite nice, even more in the last year because I’ve gotten into the habit of posting more frequently. However, I did feel it was time for a change to something more personal and customizable. That’s one of the reasons why I changed to an Octopress powered site.
