The people behind
the projects.
Most of the projects on this site have been shaped by this team’s ideas, expertise, and work, and continue to grow through their contributions.
Their input is a big part of what makes these projects possible. I want this page to introduce the people behind that shared work and give them the credit they deserve.
Colleagues I’m grateful to work alongside.
Irina Vázquez-Villaseñor
Irina is a neuroscientist trained in clinical biochemistry at UDLAP, with an MSc and PhD from the University of Sheffield. Her work spans neuronal damage, neurodegeneration, and preclinical neuromodulation research, including blood–brain barrier modulation for drug delivery.
She’s one of the best scientists I know.
José Rebollar Olascoaga
Pepe is an electronics engineer with a master’s degree from CINVESTAV’s Bioelectronics section, where he is currently pursuing a PhD in bioelectronics. His work includes PCB design and control electronics for medical devices and magnetic-coil systems. He also contributed electronics to Public Invention’s open Ferrofluid Pump project.
He’s the guy to call when you need a PCB to work.
Diana Luna Umanzor
Diana is a clinical psychologist with a master’s in cognitive behavioral therapy. Her background combines clinical research, neuropsychology, and psycholinguistics, including work with UNAM. Her publications examine language and semantic memory in aging and dementia, as well as neuromodulation.
Diana is a strong researcher and, in my view, one of the best clinical psychologists in Mexico. I’d wholeheartedly recommend booking a session with her.
Javier Emilio Bazán Sánchez
Emilio is a software developer and researcher working across computational neuroscience, machine learning, and mathematical modeling. He is also pursuing a bachelor’s degree in mathematics at UNAM.
He’s one of the most intelligent people I know, and our conversations about life are the best.
