Ana Paola Garcia Alonzo

Hi! My name is Ana Paola Garcia Alonzo and I study Biomedical Engineering at Tecnologico de Monterrey, Campus Guadalajara. I happen to find a perfect match for my passions in my profession. Especially because I aspire to focus my line of work in developing biologically inspired dynamic technology to enhance human-computer interactions. My main passions right now include neuroengineering and biomechanics. Back at home I am a member of the robotics club, RoboTec, where we are constantly working on multidisciplinary and pioneering projects. During this summer, I will be working with Dr. Melisa Orta, in the Social Haptics Robotics and Education (SHRED) Laboratory working on a novel proposal for robotics, mathematics and its educational applications. I am very thankful to my sponsors and excited about this opportunity to be a part of the RISS program, since it will help me acquire a wide range of robotics, soft, and scientific skills. I look forward to the research alongside my mentor, peers, and the entire RISS team.
