I am currently a Master’s student at University of Alberta working with Professor Ehsan Hashemi as part of the NODE Lab. My research intends to develop reliable autonomous navigation systems for adversarial scenarios (dynamic surrondings, light conditions and weather) and lies as a mixture of SLAM, Graph Optimization, Deep Learning (DL) and State Estimation. I started at NODE Lab as visiting scholar in 2023, supported by the ELAP scholarship granted by Canadian government.
Previously, I received my Bachelor’s degree in Mechatronics Engineering with a minor in robotics from the Universidad de Ingenieria y Tecnologia, Lima, Peru in 2023. My thesis was focused on electroencephalography (EEG) decoding for stimulus prediction through a Transformer DNN fused with Interval Fuzzy Type-2 (IFT2) units that can handle uncertainties and improve predictions, and it was supervised by Professor Christian Flores
