Work History

PhD Researcher

University of Liverpool
09.2019 - 12.2024

Performed data-driven analysis on aging, caloric restriction, and aging-related diseases using machine learning models (e.g., random forests) in R and Python:

  • Developed predictive models using gene ontologies, protein-protein interaction networks, metabolic pathways, and tissue expression data.
  • Conducted complex network analysis and gene coexpression studies to identify aging-related gene mechanisms.
  • Performed population genomic analysis with PLINK on the UK Biobank database, targeting genes linked to cancer, healthspan, and healthy aging.
  • Collaborated on projects involving biological age prediction, drug discovery, stemness analysis, and metabolite association in antiretroviral therapy using Support Vector Machines.

Research Assistant Lecturer

University of Guadalajara
08.2018 - 07.2019

Integrated advanced control and computational techniques to optimize influenza treatment with Oseltamivir, enhancing model predictive control:

  • Developed a mathematical model for drug dosage calculation, incorporating viral growth, immune response pharmacodynamics, and pharmacokinetics.
  • Designed and trained a recurrent neural network to model drug and infection dynamics, improving data-driven medication estimation and decision-making accuracy through predictive control systems.
  • Conducted Monte Carlo analysis to ensure the robustness of the predictive control system.

Served as an assistant lecturer in control theory and analog electronics, delivering both theoretical and practical instruction.
