Biography
I was born in Mexico City, Mexico, in August 1963. I graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical-Mechanical Engineering from the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM ), in 1987. I obtained the M.S.E.E. Degree from Florida International University in August 1989 and the Ph.D. In Electrical Engineering from the University of Florida, Gainesville, in May 1993.
Then I spent one more year in Gainesville as a Post-Doctoral Associate with the Computational Neuro Engineering Laboratory ( CNEL) / UF Brain Institute. Through my Ph. D. and Post-Doc studies I applied Spatio-Temporal DSP techniques to the real-time detection of specific (abnormal) features in multi-channel Electroencephalogram (EEG) Data. I like DSP in general, but the areas of Spatio-Temporal DSP, Adaptive DSP, Biomedical Signal Processing, and Real-Time DSP Implementations seem to be my favorites. I enjoy “Classic” Rock Music (60’s, 70’s, early 80’s) very much. I particularly hold The Beatles, Queen, and Elton John in high esteem. (I also like the “true classical music”…)
