Hello! I'm Jose Zepeda, a Mechatronic Engineer with a love and passion for designing, modeling, simulating, and controlling mechanical systems. During the last few years, I have been conducting research in different areas, allowing me to find my areas of interest, such as:
Nonlinear and linear control and dynamics.
Design and simulation of rigid and soft bodies.
Mechanic and electronic design, implementation and analysis
Development and optimization of autonomous systems.
Physical and mathematical modeling of mechanical systems
Welcome!
I am always happy to learn new topics of any kind of knowledge. Since my childhood, I have developed an interest in how things work. Hard and mysterious topics are my favorite, which means that there is a lot we can do to unravel the mysteries and unknowns of new behaviors.
Research & Work Experience
My journey in science started in high school, where I participated in multiple theoretical physics research projects, such as "Laplace Transform and its relation to special functions: Gamma, Beta, and Bessel" and "Synthesis of photoluminescent carbon quantum dots by the electrochemical method for potential applications in solar cells." In college, I began participating in a research group at ITESM, where we studied the nonlinear and linear dynamics of various mechanical systems in collaboration with ITH. During my seventh semester, I decided to explore the world of industry and how different it could be from academia. At the end of my bachelor's program, I participated in a program at Harvard Medical School and MIT. Right now, I am collaborating with AURA Lab at MIT.
