Hi, I'm Michelle

I'm passionate about creating cutting-edge technology for medical applications. My journey began with earning a B.S. degree in electronic engineering from Escuela Politécnica Nacional, Quito, Ecuador, in 2016. I then pursued a PhD in electronic engineering at Universidad Técnica Federico Santa María, Valparaíso, Chile, which I completed in 2023. 

During this amazing journey, I discovered my true love: applying artificial intelligence to solve medical challenges. I experienced the thrill of seeing my work published under my name and the weight of responsibility that comes with conducting experiments guided by strict methodology and ethics.  

Currently, I'm a postdoctoral researcher at the University of California, Davis, where I'm using state-of-the-art deep learning and generative AI to improve the interpretability of digital subtraction angiography for liver cancer diagnosis and treatment.

Feel free to explore more about my research, projects, entrepreneurial ventures, and hobbies.
