I am currently pursuing a Ph.D. degree in biomedical engineering at Universidad Austral. I am a research member of the “Laboratorio de Investigación, Desarrollo y Transferencia de la Universidad Austral” (LIDTUA). At LIDTUA, I am involved in the field of emotion recognition using biometric sensors and artificial intelligence. In particular, I am working with Galvanic Skin Response and Photoplethysmography sensors, where we process the biosignals using different machine learning algorithms. My main research interests include affective computing, machine learning, signal processing, and wearable sensors. I have 16 years of teaching experience, specializing in Automatic Control Systems (Mechatronics), Automation, and Robotics for the past eight years. Currently, as an Associate Professor, I teach courses in Automatic Control Systems (Mechatronics), Automation, and Robotics. In 2016, I received an M.Sc. degree in Numeric Simulation and Control from the Faculty of Engineering, Universidad de Buenos Aires. In my thesis, entitled "Improvement in the Control of Mechanical Ventilation Employed in Intensive Care Units Based on Robust Control and Unfalsified Control”, I had the opportunity to work with a mechanical ventilator made in Argentina. I received my undergraduate degree in electronic engineering from Instituto Tecnológico de Buenos Aires (ITBA) in 2001.
I am a researcher and academic with an extensive background in bioengineering and medical sciences. I earned my Doctorate in Engineering Sciences from the National University of Córdoba in 2008 and a Doctorate in Physiological Sciences from the University of Buenos Aires in 2000, graduating with honors. I also hold an MBA with a focus on Information Systems from the University of Palermo and a degree in Electronics Engineering from the National Technological University. I completed my postdoctoral fellowship at Harvard Medical School's Department of Neurology in 2001, following a predoctoral fellowship at both the Favaloro Foundation and Harvard Medical School's Children's Hospital from 1994 to 2000. Currently, I serve as the Director of the Institute of Translational Medicine and Biomedical Engineering (IMTIB), a tri-institutional entity affiliated with CONICET, the Italian Hospital University Institute, and the Italian Hospital of Buenos Aires. Since 2017, I have been the Director of the Biomedical Engineering program at the Italian Hospital University Institute and a member of its Superior Council since 2018. I also coordinate and teach in the Doctorate in Health Sciences and the Master's in Health Informatics programs at the same institution. I lead the Biomedical Engineering Group at IMTIB and direct the MAGenTA project, which focuses on genomic actionability mapping in Argentina.
Since I achieved my Nuclear Engineering degree, I began work as a researcher at the Argentinean Nuclear Energy Agency under agreement between the Army and the Agency (CNEA). I have led many projects, and I also work as a professor. My duties are as follows: 1. To lead projects about the thermal–hydraulic aspects of the Argentinean Advanced Nuclear Reactor (CAREM). 2. To develop and compare studies about nuclear technologies. 3. To prepare and monitor specialized contracts. 4. To maintain international cooperation relationships.
