I am an electronics engineer specialized in biomedical engineering. Two of my favorite topics were electromagnetics and system modeling during my undergraduate studies in Costa Rica Institute of Technology. I was fascinated about how electricity and biology are combined.

 

  After graduation, I worked as assistant professor in Costa Rica Institute of Technology for two years. Then, I was a recipient of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science & Technology in Japan (MEXT) scholarship from the Japanese government; I got my Ph.D. degree in medical engineering at Chiba University under the guidance of Prof. Yu. I also was awarded the distinguished JSPS Research Fellowships for Young Scientists in Japan for postdoctoral research (PD). After I finished my postdoctoral period in Chiba University, I became an assistant professor at Nagoya Institute of Technology in the Laboratory of Prof. Hirata.

 

  My aim is combining bioelectromagnetics and neuro-engineering to investigate the mechanism and applications of electric fields for rehabilitation and safety assessment. That includes, clarification of neural networks activation during brain stimulation for brain surgery, treatment of mental disorders and rehabilitation.
