Mariana Ballesteros. Mariana Ballesteros obtained the Advanced Technology Master’s Degree from the National Polytechnic Institute in January 2016 and the Ph.D. in Automatic Control Science from the Center for Research and Advanced Studies of the National Polytechnic Institute (CINVESTAV-IPN), in February 2020, both in Mexico City. During her Ph.D. studies, she did a research internship in Lille, France, at the INRIA with professors Andrey Polyakov and Denis Efimov. She is currently an associate professor in the Interdisciplinary Professional Unit of Biotechnology (UPIBI-IPN) and the Center for Innovation and Technological Development in Computing (CIDETEC IPN). Her main research interests include theory for robust control, optimal control, system identification, neural networks for control, approximation, and identification, in the area of automatic control; biomedical devices development, and medical robotics, as well as the analysis and processing of biosignals within the field of biomedical engineering. Mariana Ballesteros is currently working in the UPIBI-IPN Medical and Biosignals Robotics Laboratory, where the research is related to applying automatic control and computer sciences techniques toward the development of medical technology. Additionally, she teaches dynamic systems, biosignals and images, digital processing, sensors and interfaces, and bioinstrumentation courses in bachelor. She has co-directed the thesis of eight bachelor’s students and two master’s theses in the IPN. Mariana Ballesteros has 18 publications in international conferences and 17 articles in JCR journals.
