Jose Luis Vargas Luna, PhD, graduated as a Mechatronics Engineer in 2009 and obtained his PhD in Engineering Sciences in 2014 from Tecnológico de Monterrey, Mexico. Since 2012, he has collaborated with the Medical University of Vienna, first as a guest researcher and currently as a postdoctoral researcher. From 2015 to 2016, he completed a postdoctoral fellowship at Reykjavík University focusing on movement‑restoration technologies. His work centres on spinal cord stimulation and functional electrical stimulation for neurorehabilitation and the recovery of movement in individuals with spinal cord injury. In 2019, he also joined the Emerging Applications team at MED‑EL, where he conducts feasibility studies on novel neurorehabilitation approaches for movement disorders and investigates technologies to improve the experience of cochlear implant users. He is life member of the International Functional Electrical Stimulation Society (IFESS) and has published multiple articles in peer‑reviewed scientific journals.
