Skills
Software engineer
- Programming experience: C, C++, Java, Python, Perl, Matlab/Simulink, R, Mathematica, LaTeX, Prolog, Assembler x86.
- Graphics and visualization: OpenGL, ITK/VTK.
- Database design and implementation: PostgreSQL and Microsoft Access.
- Web design and administration: I’ve designed and implemented my personal website (www.fredsampedro.com ) where I have used XHTML, CSS, Javascript and Perl CGI.
- Operating systems administration: Windows (XP,7), Linux (Ubuntu,Debian), Mac OS X (Leopard).
Hardware engineer
- Electronic circuits design and simulation: PSPICE, CADENCE, VHDL.
- PCB design: P-CAD.

- Finite element modeling and simulation: ANSYS.
Biomedical engineer
- Biomedical signal processing experience (ECG,EEG,EMG,spirometry) using MATLAB.
- Biosystems modeling (respiratory, vascular, biochemical and homeostatic systems) using Simulink.
- Biomedical volume and image processing: SPM, MRIcro,ParaView, Slicer3D, Phillips nuclear medicine stations.
Languages
- I earned Cambridge Advanced Certificate in June 2008. Native Spanish and Catalan and basic French (two years coursed during 2002-2003).
Teaching skills
- Being passionate about what I learn, and having taken courses from a wide variety of fields, motivating examples and clear teaching come out fairly easy.
Others
Into my others section I must mention that I own a B-type car licence and I'm an sport enthusiast. I played Tennis for 7 years (which involves a great mental training in competitions), Football and Basketball ( where group skills are needed to perform well ) and swimming (where precision and accuracy are essential).
Interests
My main interest is to become a researcher while teaching for some years undergraduate Biomedical Engineering courses. In order to achieve that goal, I plan to pursue a PhD in Medicine or Biomedical sciences while collaborating with all kinds of research groups in the field. Having an entrepreneur component, I am also interested in making the most of my research results within the biomedical market.
