About Me

I did my Ph.D. in Informatics and System Engineering at the University of Zaragoza, Spain. Since 2022, I am working as a Research Engineer at Ikerlan in Basque Country, Spain. My latest research is oriented to event-based cameras from hardware perspective, working in algorithms near-to-sensor to be efficienly implemented in hardware architectures as FPGAs. My research interest focuses on heterogeneous systems, using CPU, GPU and FPGA devices. In FPGAs, I have experience in High Level Desing with C/C++ and OpenCL programming languages.
In 2017, I got a scholarship from Santander bank and University of Zaragoza for PhD studies. In 2019, I spend 3 months in the Technische Universität Dresden with a HiPeac collaboration grant.
From 2014 and 2017, I was working on digital and analog design of electronic circuits in SENA (National Service of Education), Colombia, as a developer in projects for SMEs. In 2014, I got my Master degree as Electronic Engineer in the University of Valle, Colombia, with a research focus on parallelization of optimization algorithms, such as metaheuristics, on GPU devices using CUDA.
