PROFESSORS
Prof. Francisco Joel Cervantes Lozano (DIRECTOR)
Dr. Cervantes is a Physics Engineering graduate from the University of Guanajuato. He completed his master's and doctorate studies at the Centro de Investigaciones en Óptica A.C (CIO). Later he did his post-doctorate at Utsunomiya University in Japan, doing this stay in two different laboratories (Biomedical Engineering and Photonics Laboratory). He made short research stays at the Optical+Optical Engineering Laboratory at The University of Western Australia. His most important lines of research are biomedical engineering and optical instrumentation related to vision problems.

Prof. Geliztle Alejandra Parra Escamilla
Ph.D. in Innovation System Engineering focused in Optics awarded by Utsunomiya University in Japan and member of the National System of Researchers (SNI), Candidate level. Two years of postdoctoral position were carried out at the University of Guadalajara in the Electronics and Computing Division, developing mathematical models and algorithms for 3D reconstruction techniques. During the Ph.D., I had the opportunity to collaborate on different projects with companies and the Agriculture department at Utsunomiya Univ. So far, I have 7 peer-reviewed publications, 4 were published during the postdoc period in collaboration with different research groups outside the U de G.
Research interests:
Image processing
3D reconstruction
Applications of optical flow
Calibration of optical systems
Prof. Sandra Eloisa Balderas Mata
Sandra E. Balderas-Mata obtained her bachelor's degree in Physics from the Autonomous University of San Luis Potosí. Later she did her postgraduate, masters and doctoral studies, at the National Institute of Astrophysics, Optics, and Electronics. Her research during this period focused on the application of non-linearities in photo-refractive materials. In 2010, during his postdoctoral stay at the University of California at Davis, she began working in in vivo retinal imaging. She currently works as a professor at the University of Guadalajara in the Department of Electro-photonics.
