Profile
I am a PhD student in the Computational Neuroimaging Lab at Biobizkaia Health Research Institute. I obtained my bachelor's degree in Biomedical Engineering in Mondragon Unibertsitatea in 2021, where I also got my master's degree in Biomedical Technologies, in 2023. After finalizing my master's, I worked developing new features for the spinal surgery robot Alaya at Cyber Surgery S.L, in Donostia. My research mainly focuses on aging and neurodegeneration, building new tools for standardizing age modeling methods. I am also very interested in lesion network mapping in acute lesions and neurodegeneration.
Experience

PhD Student in Biomedical Research

Started on September 2023 in Biobizkaia HRI, Barakaldo, Basque Country

My main projects focus on the identification of lifestyle factors that contribute to healthy aging trajectories, the characterization of dysconnectivity in preclinical dementia patients; and the development of AgeML:

Google Summer of Code 2024 Student

Summer of 2024

Contributing to Diffusion Imaging in Python (DIPY), for project: Conditional Tractogram Generation Based on age and neurodegeneration using autoencoder networks. The objective was to integrate synthetic tractogram generation capabilities into DIPY, allowing researchers in the dMRI field to obtain benchmark data for tractometry and synthetic control or pathological subjects for other kinds of studies.

Artificial Intelligence Researcher

From Oct 2022 to Sep 2023 at Cyber Surgery S.L, Donostia, Basque Country

Part of the Applied Research Team, investigating generative image-to-image models for reducing radiation in spinal surgery patients and for automatic surgery planning.
