Naming Custom
The structure of my full name might bring some confusion; hence, a clarification and a note of use is necessary. My first name is Hugo and my middle one is Nestor.

If you are a LaTeX/BibTeX user and should you need to cite my work, you may write my surnames within curly brackets, e.g., Hugo N. {Villegas Pico}. Please note that my two surnames are not written with a hyphen in between.
