He holds a Math. Eng. degree from the University of Chile, and a M.Math. and a Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Waterloo in Canada. In 1975 he was one of the founders of the Department of Computer Science of the University of Chile, the first of its kind in Chile. He has been a professor at that department since then, having produced a number of publications, most of them on the fields of Analysis of Algorithms, Data Structures and Internet policy. Since 2000, he has been Director of the School of Engineering and Science of the University of Chile.<ref>[http://www.wwtld.org/aboutcctld/history/wwtld1999/elections/patricio-en.html wwtld.org]</ref>

His involvement with the Internet began in 1984, when he and his colleagues at the Department of Computer Science established the a UUCP network linking several universities in Chile. This network was linked a couple of years later to the global Internet, and as a consequence in 1987 the department assumed responsibility for operating the domain name registry for [[.CL]], who later became NIC Chile. NIC Chile is one of the largest registries in Latin America, and is known, among other things, for having introduced a dispute resolution system based on arbitration in 1997 (two years before the [[UDRP]]). Recently, it was the first Spanish speaking registry to introduce [[IDN]].

He has been involved in [[ICANN]] affairs since before it existed, having attended an [[IFWP]] meeting and the [[DNSO]] formation meeting. He was elected a member of the Names Council of the [[DNSO]], representing the [[ccTLD]] constituency. He is currently a member of the [[ccNSO]] council, representing the Latin America and Caribbean region.<ref>[http://www.ceo.cl/609/article-1483.html ceo.cl]</ref>
