Hernández-Rodriguez, Felipe

Originally from the beautiful city of Zacatecas, I was born on May 31, 1983 as the youngest of four brothers. Along with my professional studies I obtained the degree of "instructor in art education specializing in Mexican Folkloric Dance" at the Cultural Institute of Aguascalientes in 2005. Graduated from the Autonomous University of Zacatecas in 2006 as a Communications and Electronics Engineer, my thesis was titled "Mobile Robot Path follower controlled with VISSIM and PDS TMS320LF2407". In 2006 I decided to study the Master of Science in Robotics and Advanced Manufacturing in CINVESTAV, Saltillo graduating in 2009 with a thesis entitled "Robot Assisted Photometric Stereo", as the first nationwide graduate of the program. Finding satisfaction in the results of the work done, I decided to continue the project studying the Ph.D. in Robotics and Advanced Manufacturing in CINVESTAV, Saltillo graduating in 2013 with a thesis entitled "Extended Photometric Sampling For Face Shape Recovery" Again being the first nationwide graduate of the program. During my graduate studies I had the opportunity to present my work in several national and international conferences where I met many people dedicated to research. The greatest achievement in this regard was taking part in the British Machine Vision Conference (BMVC) developed by the University of Surrey in Guildford, England. It has now been published in indexed journal (Machine vision and applications) the results of research conducted during the PhD. At the beginning of 2009 I started as a teaching professor at the Tecnologico de Monterrey, Campus Saltillo. In this experience I found an environment to develop my skills, my main motivation to inspire new engineers to develop critical thinking to contribute to scientific and technological growth in Mexico. At the time I work as a full professor at the institution seeking to meet the goal to encourage my students to their personal and professional growth.
