Dr. Antonio Ortega-Martinez

I am an Electronics Engineer with a Master in Optics. After graduating, I worked in an Optics Research Center in Mexico (CIO) for 8 years as part of the Technology division, working in projects for the industry and supporting IR technology research.
Currently, I am working at the Wellman Center for Photomedicine in the Massachusetts General Hospital as a Research Engineer. Here I develop prototypes, computational tools and optical/electronic devices that help fellows take measurements or complete their work more efficiently. I also do some research on my own on the field of UV fluorescence of tissue and tissue oximetry.
I count MATLAB and Labview programming among my skills, as well as knowledge of spectroscopy, infrared and signal processing.
Other of my interests are genetics, phylogeny and big data.
