Summer 2020
MITx
I did the online course Machine learning with python - from linear models to deep learning, the certificate is available at edX
Summer 2017
Vitenskap - Co-founder
Vitenskap is a technological consultancy firm founded by Diego Márquez, a computer science engineer and me. Since the beginning of the company we developed some iOS and android applications for a number of clients, but 2 of our most greatest achievements were the infrastructure, hardware and software development of a project proposal with a live demostration of an IoT people tracker project developed for a private company which is going to be implemented in a security program in the state of Colima, México. The second is the development of a software solution for an oncologic and parenteral nutritions mix center management system, this was a new center and we were deeply involved in the process from conception to deployment. We were able to obtain all the certification for operation and it been operational for 1 year, we are under constant development of new function and mantainance with the client and we have recently being reached out by an external company with interest to acquire a sotware license.
Fall 2014
Universidad La Salle
I am an associate professor of Faculty of Engineering of the university teaching biomedical instrumentation courses. I started my academic career developing an analogic and digital filters and microcontrollers course, then I was offered to develop the biomedical intrumentation and control course and then the 2 more advanced courses biomedical measurements I and II. The university offeren me the opportunity to coordinate hospital internships for 15 students among private hospitals and National Health Institutes, I was also in charge of the management of the projects developed by the students in association with the heads of biomedical engineer departments. I have been advisor of the undergraduate degree dissertation of 2 students and mentored research projects of more than 15 students, one of them lead to my student to be accepted to undertake a summer research internship in the University of New Mexico.
Fall 2013 to 2015
Centro de Investigación y de Estudios Avanzados del Instituto Politécnico Nacional - CINVESTAV
I obtained a MSc in Electrical Engineering with specialty in Bioelectronics degree, achieving a GPA of 9.3 (Maximum 10) being the 2nd highest. My research subject was the optimization of the delivered energy by a double slot applicator for breast cancer treatment through microwave ablation: modeling by FEM, phantom characterization, validation of the models in phantoms, in vitro and in vivo experimentation.
Spring 2012
Instituto Nacional de Cancerología (National Cancer Institute)
I did an internship in a medical physics research group, there I was trained to work with lab equipment and animals on protocols involving tumor cell inoculation for detection and terapheutics using radiopharmaceuticals drugs. I supported in MicroPET-SPECT-CT image acquisition during experimental protocols, image reconstruction and analysis and assisted on a project that produced a patent.
Summer 2008 to fall 2012
Universidad La Salle
I obtained my bachelors degree in Biomedical Engineering with a GPA of 9.2 (Maximum 10) - 1st in class
