Milton earned a BS in Biomedical Engineering from Tecnológico de Monterrey, graduating with the highest honors and the highest award for co-curricular excellence. At his university's BRAIN Center, he created Machine Learning models using biometrics (EEG, PPG/EDA, CV) to predict cognitive states as mental fatigue, engineering interest, and emotion. At the FNNDSC at Harvard Medical School, he developed Deep Learning models using fetal MRI data for cortical and subcortical structure segmentation.
Outside of research, he likes reading, playing chess, and rock climbing.
