I am a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Athinoula A. Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging, Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School, and former Research Fellow at the Fetal-Neonatal Neuroimaging and Developmental Science Center at Boston Children's Hospital. At Takahashi Lab, I investigate the link between the spatiotemporal patterns of growth and development of neural pathways and those of gyral/sulcal formation, both in typically developing children as well as in children with neurodevelopmental disorders. I also work on evolutionary developmental questions using neuroimaging techniques in non-human primates. I completed a structured Ph.D. program in Evolutionary Biology at Life Science Zurich Graduate School, jointly run by the ETH Zurich and the University of Zurich, receiving his doctoral degree from the latter in 2019. I got a Master's degree in Applied Physics from TU Delft, a Master's degree in Robotics and Photonics Engineering from Warsaw University of Technology, and a Bachelor's degree in Mechatronics with a focus on Computer Vision from CETI University of Technology, in Guadalajara, Mexico. During my doctoral studies, he used neuroimaging data of humans, chimpanzees, and gorillas to quantify the patterns of structural variation and covariation in cortical surface and cranial morphology that operate within and between species as well as during postnatal development. In 2017 and 2018, I also worked at the Neural Circuit Dynamics Lab, Brain Research Institute Zurich, where I contributed to the automation of experimental setups and analysis of fluorescence microscopy data for neuroscience research.
