Alberto was a great leader and inspiration for me! Always kind with everyone, humble and curious. The day I landed in Los Angeles in 2010 for my MSc internship, he pick me up in the airport and took me for dinner with him and Noemia in their house, where I stayed for the first night. Warm welcome for the start of a transformative experience with him as an advisor at JPL! ALTAVE, the company which I co-founded, would not be born without him. We will all miss your wisdom and energy! Rest in Peace.
