I am Antonio Pino Robles and I am currently an undergratuate student at the University of the Basque Country, in the Basque Country (Northern Spain). I have always enjoyed literature and math, things I like to do when I enjoy the heavy rain pouring in my hometown. | |||

** What's your overall background? | My mouthertounges (I honestly cannot remember which was first) are Basque and Spanish. I also speak fluent English, working Italian, and French. | ||
** What's your overall background? As an ungergrad I am following a programme that leads me to a major in Electronic Engineering and a minor in Physics, that means that I have expirience in subjects such as Control Theory, Signal Analysis on one side, and Quantum Physics and Thermodynamics on the other; all with a strong mathematical background. | |||

* Please state the timeframe (in UTC+0) when you feel most comfortable working during GSoC. Where are your time buffers?
