Gabriel Iturralde

My main professional and academic experience has been focused on incorporating technological solutions to different industries through data engineer and machine learning techniques. I own 2 startups in the tech-med industry, one in the solar energy industry and I was a part-time professor at Universidad San Francisco de Quito. My two MS were focused on Biomedical Robotics and Neural Engineering with a focus on ML techniques. Here I have worked in several research projects related with using brain computer interfaces to improve the functional recovery of post-stroke hemiparetic patients. My last MS thesis is based in using advanced machine learning algorithms to manipulate human organs and tissues for surgical robots. Overall, I have 8+ years of professional experience in data engineering and machine learning engineering.
