Why did I do it? We aim to build a pneumothorax classification model. In order to train a Machine Learning classification model, large amounts of highly structured and properly labelled data are necessary. What did I do? Building the pipeline for the construction of a database using DICOM files from X-rays studies. How did I do it? - Building algorithms that match labels from diagnostic reports to images by using DICOM metadata accessed through PyDicom. - Visually assess image data and identify outliers. - Design filters that remove the aforementioned data points.

Summer School

• Jun 2019 - Jun 2019

Why did I do it? Radiofrequency interference (RFI) sources close to the LOFAR or similar stations may corrupt the measurement of signals that originated in space. What did I do? During the academic year researched and then designed a Radiofrequency Interference (RFI) detector in a team of four. How did I do it? - Used CST Studio Suite software to design an antenna, simulate its behavior and choose which would better fit our needs. - Designed that same antenna using the Fusion360 software and then 3D printed it using FDM. - Made lab and real-world simulations to assess the performance of the created antenna.

Machine Learning Intern

Why did I do it? Large amounts of medical image data are vital for building machine learning-based classification models. The use of publicly available data allows for transfer learning, thus reducing the amount of data needed. What did I do? Assessed the feasibility of creating a chest X-ray classification model using publicly available data. This model is to be implemented in the Trauma Department. What did I do? - Explored an open-source X-ray database to understand its characteristics and whether it could be used to train a deep neural network that would then be implemented in the Trauma Department. - Used pandas, Keras, matplotlib, and scikit learn. - Analyzed the results from performance metrics. - Implemented recently developed network visualization techniques that allow a better understanding of the model's 'thought process'.

Intern @ 3D Lab

• Feb 2018 - Jul 2018

Why did I do it? Nowadays, interventional Radiologists have very few resources to practice for intravenous procedures such as aneurysm treatment. On top of that, planning for such treatments is done using representations of 3D objects (vessels) in 2D screens. What did I do? Developed a hollow 3D printed model of a brain aneurysm using patient's CT data which could be used both for training and planning. How did I do it? - Segmented brain aneurysms from CT scans using Materialise MimicsinPrint. - Processed the resulting files with computer-aided design (CAD) software namely: Fusion360 and Meshmixer. - Used stereolithography (SLA) printing.

Member of the Board of Directors

• Sep 2016 - Sep 2017

Member of the founding board of EBIMed working with a special focus on the administration and financial areas. With ten other board members we created EBIMed from scratch, defining the goals and vision, talking to prospective members and finding suitable partners for our projects. Simultaneously, took part on two different projects as a team leader. One of these projects aims to develop a dynamic weelchair's arm which increases patient mobility and decreases muscle atrophy. In the second we were proposed to develop a muscle spindle stimulator for post CVA patients. Show less

Member of the Pedagogical Comission of the Biomedical Engineering Integrated Masters

• Sep 2014 - Sep 2017

Member of the student committee composed by two representatives of each year. As such, our main responsibilities were to bridge students, professors and the program coordinator in order to solve any issues of pedagogical nature such as exam scheduling. On top of that, we also gave feedback on the program's curriculum and the planning of individual courses. Member of the student committee composed by two representatives of each year.
