Professional experience
Professional experience
I'm Associated Professor at the Systems Engineering Department in Pontificia Universidad Javeriana. I teach courses in the Systems Engineering program and the Master in Systems Engineering and Computation.
I worked as Support Engineer in the Telemedicine Centre of the Universidad Nacional. I performed technical support to the process related to the provision of Telemedicine services, I worked in the development of a Telemedicine Information System and I carried out some hardware administration and support activities.

Research
I belong to the Bioingeniería, Análisis de Señales y Procesamiento de Imágenes BASPI research group (classified as A by Colciencias), where I develop some proyects with students of the Systems Engineering program, the Master in Systems Engineering and Computation and the Doctorate in Engineering.
In addition, I have been with the Computer Imaging and Medical Applications Laboratory CIM@LAB (classified as A1 by Colciencias), where I developed my Master Thesis project, named "Non-Parametric 3D Deformations Applied to Anatomical Structures Morphometry", and my Ph.D. project, named "Visual Attention Models and Sparse Representations for Morphometrical Image Analysis", under supervision of professor Eduardo Romero, Ph.D.
Within my doctoral studies, I have performed some internships:
The Australian e-Health Research Centre, CSIRO ICT Centre division, Brisbane, Australia (September 2008 to March 2009). Implementation of binary topological operators for correction of brain tissue segmentations.
Laboratorio de Análisis de Imagen Médica y Biometría, Universidad Rey Juan Carlos, Madrid, Spain (January to July 2011). NeuroBin: neuroimaging biomarkers for neurodegenerative diseases.
