In early 2024, I commenced my PhD studies at Coventry University as part of an ETH Zurich (ETHZ)-Coventry University co-funded research attachment programme, under the guidance of Professor John Allen from the research Centre for Intelligent Healthcare (CIH). My PhD project focuses on developing innovative sensing technologies aimed at enhancing the detection of peripheral arterial disease (PAD), including photoplethysmography (PPG) compared to thermal imaging. My research aims to create a novel, non-invasive system that can improve the detection and monitoring of PAD, contributing to more effective clinical management of the condition.

My vision is to develop devices and systems that contribute to a healthier world! 

Hey! I’m Felipe, born in Costa Rica in 1998 (definitely the coolest year of the ‘90s). I’m passionate about learning new skills and have built a career that blends industry and academia. After a few years working in the tech sector, I’m now focused on enhancing my expertise by developing medical systems. Alongside my PhD and academic responsibilities, I enjoy outdoor activities and adventure. I see myself as a versatile, all-in-one individual who’s committed to always giving my best and delivering top-quality results!
