Tecnológico de Monterrey
Mexico City, Mexico 🇲🇽
International Air and Space Program
1st Place Winner
A program focused on astronaut training and engaging with the aerospace field through activities such as operating an aircraft, simulation missions, g-force training, among others.
I competed with people from all over the world for the chance to send a project to the MISSE module of the International Space Station (ISS).
My team and I proposed a material that is capable of changing color according to radiation exposure, indicating structural damage in lunar habitats.
Our project was the winner and will be sent to space in 2025 for testing.
Featured
Robot-guided virtual therapies
UNESCO IIDA Gold Medal Award | 2023.
Leaded a remote therapy model utilizing NAO robots to provide therapy to individuals with physical and intellectual disabilities who have low resources.
Bioluminescence imaging (BLI) in mice for cancer detection applications
Weizmann Institute of Science ISSI Scholarship | 2021
Conducted bioimaging data generation using Blender for machine learning applications, focusing on in vivo bioluminescence imaging in mice to monitor tumor development.
UV Radiation Indicator for Lunar Structures
International Air and Space Program | 2024
Developed a revolutionary material that serves as a chemical indicator for detecting the presence of UV radiation within lunar structures.
Highlighted Projects
Cenote 2.0
Artificial 'cenote' inspired by the Aztec chinampa system aimed at maximizing sustainable food production and integrating state of the art technologies for the educational programs at Tecnológico de Monterrey.
Woofit
Fitness app to address obesity in Mexico by encouraging exercise and mental health care alongsite pets, incentivized by monthly challenges and rewards sponsored by canine brands.
Polychromatic
Kit of a smart pen and digital art app to promote the inclusivity of artists with various types of color blindness. The app generates two artworks: the original one and a translation of the colors the artists was actually seeing during the process.
Amperewise
Device to measure the energy efficiency and luminosity of light bulbs, intended for department stores and personal use.
Earth Center
Moon Colonization Program | AEXA
This project was awarded a 60% scholarship for the International Air and Space Program held at NASA facilities.
Designed the 'Earth Center,' an architectural plan for lunar colonies at the Moon's South Pole by the Artemis program. It's a self-sustaining hub with modules for food, oxygen, and waste management.
The design incorporates advanced technology like biomimicry, IoT, holography, and sustainable waste handling.
