Biography

Milton holds a BS in BME from Tecnologico de Monterrey, where he developed ML pipelines integrating multi-modal biometrics (EEG, PPG, EDA) for cognitive state decoding in education and modeled human biomechanics through motion capture and RNNs. At Harvard Medical School, he worked on fetal brain MRI segmentation using attention-gated CNNs. Currently, at Houston Methodist, he develops EEG-based closed-loop BCIs for SCI rehabilitation by modeling neural dynamics for personalized neuromodulation.
