At the beginning of July, 4 postdoctoral researchers joined the Advanced Center for Electrical and Electronic Engineering, AC3E, who, from their respective research groups, will join the challenge of designing and conducting highly specialized research, publishing results in high-impact journals and collaborating with the members of the Center and students.
They are researchers Xiaopeng Xi, Sebastián Espinosa, Emiro Ibarra and Raydel Ortigueira. All of them applied to AC3E at the beginning of this year given their outstanding track record in different lines of research and motivated to join an important multidisciplinary team.
Emiro Ibarra joined the Biomedical Systems line. He is an Electrical Engineer from the University of Venezuela and a Doctor in Electronic Engineering. While studying his doctorate, he was an active member of the Voice Production Laboratory (VPLab) of the Center, where he learned about its dynamics closely, which motivated him to be part of the team to develop medical devices and solutions for health. “As a postdoctoral researcher, my commitment is to advance in the ambulatory evaluation of laryngeal biomechanical parameters in voice production,” highlighted Dr. Ibarra.
For his part, Raydel Ortigueira arrived at the Control and Automation line, he is a Telecommunications and Electronics Engineer and a Doctor in Electrical Engineering. As a postgraduate student, he participated in the traditional Technical Conferences of AC3E, where he learned about some research work of the Center that motivated him to apply. “I am eager to apply my knowledge and experience at AC3E, and bring science closer to society and industry. In addition, I share the idea of collaborating in multidisciplinary groups, where different points of view enrich research and its results,” said Dr. Ortigueira.
Sebastián Espinosa is an Electrical Engineer and a Doctor of Philosophy in Electrical Engineering. He joined the Center at the Artificial Intelligence and Data Analysis line. One of his main motivations for the position was the excellence and leadership of AC3E in the creation of innovative solutions. “The opportunity to be part of such an enriching environment will allow me to enhance my skills and knowledge as a researcher, placing emphasis on both theoretical and practical aspects. In addition, the collaborative environment with the center and industry allows establishing real and applied solutions to situations that positively impact society,” said Dr. Espinosa.
Finally, Xiaopeng Xi holds a Bachelor’s degree in Detection Guidance and Control Technology and a Doctorate in Control Science and Engineering from 1 Tsinghua University, China and recently joined the Robotics line. “I applied to the Center after learning about the outstanding career of Professor Marcos Orchard and the excellent trajectory of the Center in engineering,” concluded Dr. Xiaopeng Xi.
