Dr. Hugo F. Posada-Quintero University of Connecticut, USA

Hugo F. Posada-Quintero is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Connecticut. He received his Bachelor of Science in Electronic Engineering from Universidad Distrital in Colombia in 2005, his Master of Science in Electronics and Computer Engineering from Universidad de los Andes in Colombia... read morein 2008, and his Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering from the University of Connecticut in 2016.

His research focuses on biomedical signal processing, wearable instrumentation, and sensor development for health-related applications. He aims to detect and predict physiological and cognitive states, such as stress, fatigue, pain, emotional state, and cognitive performance, by analyzing bioelectrical signals. He develops sensitive biomarkers and multimodal algorithms that combine multiple signals using advanced mathematical methods and data-driven models powered by machine learning and deep learning. He also designs novel sensors and portable, wearable electronic devices to improve the capture of electrophysiological signals in real-world settings.
