About me
I am an engineering graduate carrying out my master thesis at the MIT Media Lab, Changing Places Group. I am performing research on the Persuasive Electric Vehicle (PEV) project, working on the mechanical design and fabrication of interior and exterior systems.
In particular, I am focused on developing an active tilting system for the PEV. Combining a robust control strategy and a simple front suspension design, the tilting of this three wheeler vehicle will enhance the user´s experience, increase the stability in the curves and minimize the perceived acceleration by the driver.
Before joining MIT, I received my Bachelor of Science degree in Industrial Technologies from Tecnun-University of Navarra, in Spain. Among other projects, I have taken part in the design and fabrication of two Formula Student cars, as chassis team responsible. At the moment I am concluding a Master of Science in Industrial Engineering.
