Experience

Research Assistant · Universidade da Coruña

Jun 2025 - Sep 2025 (4 months) · Ferrol, Galicia, Spain (on-site)

I participated in a biomechanics project focused on human movement analysis, with emphasis on real-time estimation of musculotendinous parameters from joint kinematics. The objective was to reduce long per-person calibrations and speed up calculation of internal variables useful in gait, rehabilitation, and out-of-lab monitoring.

Real-time estimation of musculotendinous variables.
Reduction of person-specific calibrations.
Application in gait analysis, rehabilitation, and biomechanical monitoring.

Collaboration Scholarship · Universidade da Coruña

2025 - 2025

Collaboration scholarship in the Department of Naval and Industrial Engineering, at the Mechanical Engineering Laboratory, developing an algorithm for the analysis of pathologies associated with the gait cycle.

Development of an algorithm focused on gait-cycle analysis.
The algorithm was mainly developed in MATLAB.
Work carried out at the UDC Mechanical Engineering Laboratory.
