Edwin is a highly skilled Biomedical Engineering professional, holding an M.S. in Biomedical Engineering from FIU (Fall 2021) and a previous B.S. in the same field with a minor in Robotics and Mechatronics. With a tenure in the Optical Imaging Laboratory since Fall 2015, he has actively contributed expertise in 3D modeling, PCB design, electronics, image processing, and data management/analysis, playing key roles in leading diverse projects.His research portfolio includes contributions to projects such as the development of a Near-infrared Optical Scanner for wound monitoring, a laser speckle imaging system for blood perfusion measurement, and an optical homodyne system for assessing optical properties in a homogenous medium. Proficient in Matlab programming, Edwin has simulated light transport in skin tissue using the Monte Carlo algorithm and diffusion theory.For his Master's thesis, Edwin collaborated with the Miami Cancer Institute on a pilot study for breast cancer imaging. The project aimed to unveil correlations between the development of radiation dermatitis and skin tissue oxygenation, showcasing his commitment to impactful research in the biomedical field.Edwin is currently employed as an Optical Design Engineer at QUEL Imaging, where he applies his comprehensive skill set towards the research and development of products for fluorescence-guided surgery.
