About Me

I am studying Electronic Engineering at the Peruvian University of Applied Sciences (Peru). Currently, I am doing a research internship under the supervision of Dr. Milad Nazarahari at the IDEA Lab at the University of Alberta. My primary areas of interest are artificial intelligence and deep learning, with a special focus on their application in rehabilitation.

Research Interests

• Robotic Rehabilitation

• AI-based Control

• Deep Learning

• Reinforcement Learning

• Image Processing

• Signal Processing

Projects

• I am currently working on developing a markerless motion capture system using deep learning techniques to analyze human movement and activities.

• During my B.Sc. I did a variety of projects, including the design of a fuzzy logic controller for a line-follower robot, image processing to classify Braille letters, the design of a PID controller for a two-degree robot, the simulation of a Hass avocado greenhouse with various sensors, and so on.

• Apart from that, I worked on papers related to artificial intelligence and upper limb prostheses. These can be seen in IEEE Xplore and Scopus.
