CURRICULUM VITAE

Education

**** - **** *********** ********** ** Valencia and University of Valencia

Master in Biomedical Engineering (120 ECTS)

During the Master study in Biomedical Engineering I worked in

different projects

with companies and university such as: design of a knee

prosthesis and surgical instrumentation, design of an

electrooculogram, project management, bioelectricity and

bioelectromagnetics.

2007 - 2008 Hanze Institute of Technology, Groningen

Minor - International Biomedical Engineering

I worked in a project along with mechanical and electrical

engineering students in the design of Phantom Heart Pump system.

The goal of the project was to design an artificial heart pump

system that mimics the blood circulation in the left ventricle.

Moreover we did other project together. Design and manufacture

of an extensible femoral prosthesis. We did a prototype of

femoral prosthesis for patients in growing age.

Participation in "Biomedical Engineering in a European

Perspective 2007" grade - 8.2.Summer course 2007 in

Wilhelmshaven, Germany. During the program I learned about

Biomaterial Science-fundamentals and we made a poster

presentation. The most interesting to learn here was working

with people from different background from all over the world.

2004 - 2008 Polytechnic University of Valencia

Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical Engineering

During my bachelor's study I worked in different school projects

such as: Installation of plumbing for a factory of flour,

Calculation to design a gear box and others.

2004 - 2006 IFPS (Integrated Center for Public Vocational Training) Ausias

March

Orthopaedic Technician

During the vocational training I learned to manufacture

orthosis, external prosthesis and arch supports for feet.

1999 - 2002 University of Valencia

Bachelor's Degree in Speech Therapy

Work Experience

2012 Company: Lafitt .S.A., Paterna (Valencia)

Master Thesis (Design of mobile bearing knee prosthesis)

The project "Design of mobile bearing knee prosthesis" is a

project to improve the original design of a knee prosthesis. The

goal was to confer movement to the tibial component. Software

used was Solidworks. Other software: CorelDRAW X3.

2008 - Now Company: TAGESA. Place: Center for Public Health Research

(CSISP).

I work attending the phone calls. I take part managing parking

reservations and staff list. I am also responsible to inform

people that come with any doubt.

2008 Radboud University Nijmegen Medical Center. Dept. of Periodontology &

Biomaterials. Place: Nijmegen (The Netherlands).

Bachelor Thesis (Improvement of mechanical properties of

bioceramic materials using carbonanotubes)

The project "Improvement of mechanical properties of bioceramic

materials using carbonanotubes" is was an innovative project to

study the possible benefits of using CNT's.

This Project had two different parts. First part had the

objective of reinforce the brittle bioceramic coatings. Second

part had the objective of improve the mechanical characteristics

of calcium phosphate cements. Therefore, CNT fibers were mixed

with coatings and cement for imparting strength and toughness.

Techniques used: Synthesis of apatite, Dispersion of carbon

nanotubes, Electrostatic Spray Deposition (ESD), Dynamic Light

Scattering Technique (DLS), Scratch test, Compression test,

Brazilian test, Scanning electron microscope, Transmission

electron microscope.

Projects

Orthopedics

I worked on a project to design a mobile knee with rotation

and translation of the plastic tibial component that is

able to move with the physiological movement. This was my

final project for Biomedical Engineering master but it was

developed in the company Lafitt. This company is

specialized in the design, development, manufacture and

marketing of implants and surgical instruments for

orthopedic surgery.

Design optimization

I worked on a project given together with other engineering

students to redesign an extensible femoral prosthesis by

improving the leaking system and others.

Medical design

I worked on a project to design an artificial heart

together with other engineering students. We designed an

artificial heart circulation that mimics the circulation in

the left ventricle. This event was proposed at Hanze

Institute of Technology.

Biomaterials

Ceramic materials have poor properties. To solve this

problem a composite with one of the strongest world

material (CNTs) was effectuated in two different studies,

coatings and cements. Properties of solutions and samples

were evaluated by conductivity test, dynamic light

scattering, scanning electron microscopy, transmission

electron microscope and mechanical testing (scratch

test/MTS machine universal testing). I worked preparing the

samples and evaluating them with the previous techniques.

This was the final project for my minor in Biomedical Engineering in

school of Engineering Hanze Hogeschool and for my Bachelor

in Mechanical Engineering.
