Biographical sketch A citizen of Mexico, Gabriel finished his bachelor studies in electromechanical engineering at Universidad Panamericana (Mexico City campus) in 1990. His professional experience includes being an instructor of dynamics and solid mechanics, and working as a process tool designer and process engineer in the auto industry. Gabriel received his Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering from Carnegie-Mellon University in 2001. His degree paper bears the title "RedesignIT - A Constraint-Based Tool for Managing Design Changes" (under the advisorship of Professor Thomas Stahovich). RedesignIT is a computational tool that models the propagation of design changes in an engineered system. A related DETC paper can be found here. His interest in robotics began during his work as a research associate at Universidad Panamericana (2001-2003). He worked on the kinematic and dynamic analysis of a novel 3-D parallel manipulator.
