Short Bio
I was born and raised in Monterrey, Mexico. I am currently living in Houston, TX.
In 2019, I graduated from University of Houston’s PhD program in Electrical Engineering. Before joining Houston Methodist Academic Institute, I was a postdoctoral associate at Cornell University.
My research involves classification and decoding of non-invasive Electroencephalographic (EEG) signals. Some of my contributions include the use of EEG to characterize and classify expressive movements with high predictability; exploring the emergence and development of learning in human infants; and the implementation of classical and deep learning techniques for brain dynamics characterization in real-world settings and virtual reality. My dissertation topic was on characterizing the human improvisational creative process using mobile brain-body imaging in real-world settings.
My research is multidisciplinary at its core, bridging neuroscience, engineering, and the human creative process in real-world, virtual reality, and augmented reality settings.
Goal
My passion and long-term career goal is to create knowledge and technology that positively affects the lives of millions of people. My objective is twofold: 1) To promote quality multidisciplinary education access equality; and 2) To develop technology and a knowledge base that lead to improvements in quality of life, through scientific research.
