Career Profile

I am a master’s student in biomedical engineering at Universidad de los Andes in Bogota, Colombia. My research interests have revolved about image acquisition and analysis. I have experience designing, building, and using custom optical microscopes. More recently, I have dedicated myself to deep learning based light field rendering and simultaneous volumetric imaging.

Experiences

Research intern

2018
ICFO, Barcelona

I worked for the MesoBrain project on image acquisition of 3D neural cultures. Designed and built an inverted Single Plane Illumination microscope with an electrically tunable lens. Also performed optical analysis of synthetic scaffolds for the cultures.

Research and Teaching Assistant

2016 - present
Universidad de los Andes, Bogota

I have worked in research projects under the direction of Professor Pablo Arbelaez. I have taught Biostatistics at undergraduate level.

Projects

Light Field Light Sheet Microscopy - A device for simultaneous 3D imaging of microscopic biological samples.
Calcium imaging under an iSPIM with an ETL - A device for rapid imaging of calcium dynamics in neural populations along large volumes.
Simple, Low-Cost Bayesian Super Resolution Microscopy - A simple method to obtain SR reconstructions using open software and off-the-shelf hardware
