My curiosity for mathematical logic and its connections to other parts of mathematics has led me to study with various people, including Xavier Caicedo (Universidad Nacional de Colombia and Universidad de los Andes - sheaf models of set theory), Ken Kunen (University of Wisconsin-Madison - my 1996 Ph.D. thesis on large cardinals and models of set theory), Saharon Shelah (Hebrew University of Jerusalem - postdoctoral work on abstract elementary classes) and various other people after my Jerusalem postdoc.
My degrees are (in inverse chronological order)
  1. Ph.D. in Mathematics, University of Wisconsin-Madison, 1996.
  2. M. A. in Mathematics, University of Wisconsin-Madison, 1994.
  3. Magíster en Matemáticas, Universidad de los Andes (Bogotá), 1991.
  4. Matemático, Universidad Nacional de Colombia (Bogotá), 1989.
  5. Bachiller, Colegio Réfous (Suba, Colombia), 1985.
