About me
Currently, I work at the Center of Advanced Sound Technologies of Yamaha Corporation. I was previously collaborating at the research staff of the Music Technology Group (MTG) from the University Pompeu Fabra in Barcelone. I'm also PhD. candidate of the Analysis & Synthesis Team of the Institue for Music/Acoustic Research and Coordination (IRCAM) in Paris.
As academic background, I hold an Electronics and Communications Engeneering diploma by the Autonomous University of Guadalajara (UAG) and Master Degrees in Telecommunications by the CINVESTVAV-IPN and in Digital Systems and Signal Processing by the University of Rennes I. I'm currently attending the PhD. degree from the Pierre and Marie Curie University of Paris.
