Talks and presentations
Communicating my research is an important part of my work. Here are some of the talks and presentations I've given over the years.The influence of visual representation factors on bio signals and its relation to Presence in Virtual Reality Environments
Talk, La Sapienza University, Rome, Italy
I presented collaborative work on VR Presence at the IEEE International Conference on Metrology for Extended Reality, Artificial Intelligence and Neural Engineering (MetroXRAINE).
Emotion Analysis using Heart Rate Data
Talk, Johannes Kepler University Linz, Linz, Austria
I presented my research on emotion analysis from heart rate data at the DEXA 2019 conference.
High Performance Computing with Julia
Talk, Natural Sciences Faculty, University of Guanajuato, Guanajuato, Mexico
With the goal of keeping up with state-of-the-art methods for computational simulation, I prepared and gave a 15-hour course on high performance computing with the Julia programming language for the Natural and Exact Sciences Division of the University of Guanajuato. The workshop was given in Spanish.
Clubes de Ciencia
Talk, Natural Sciences Faculty, University of Guanajuato, Guanajuato, Mexico
In collaboration with the Clubes de Ciencia, I aided in the organization and technical execution of a week-long workshop for high school students. The workshop was focused on the basics of Quantum Computing, and the students were able to program their own quantum algorithms. The workshop was given in Spanish and English.
TimeLayers
Talk, Oxford University, Oxford, UK
Along with my collaborators, we presented a startup initiative at the Oxford University Urban Innovation Forum. The TimeLayers initiative was aimed at creating a platform for the visualization of urban data, with the goal of overlaying historic pictures onto current urban landscapes. This project was part of the Public Entrepreneurship Laboratory at the School of Government and Public Transformation of the Tecnológico de Monterrey. The talk was given in English.
Python Workshop
Talk, Engineering Faculty, University of Guanajuato, Salamanca, Mexico
In collaboration with the IEEE Student Branch, I gave a 40-hour Python workshop to students of the Engineering Faculty. The goal of this workshop was to complement the students’ education with a practical approach to programming. The workshop was given in Spanish.
Niños en la ciencia
Talk, Municipalities of Guanajuato, Mexico, Guanajuato, Mexico
As part of the Ciencia en Movimiento program, and in collaboration with the Guanajuato Network for Science Communication, I gave talks on topics like cognitive science, epistemology, and meta-science to elementary school kids. The goal was to inspire kids to pursue a career in science, and to show them that science is not only for adults. The talks were given in Spanish.
