Amparo Güemes González received her B.S. in Biomedical Engineering (2016) from Polytechnic University of Madrid (Madrid, Spain), and her M.S. in Biomedical Engineering (2017) and PhD in Electrical Engineering (2021) from Imperial College London (London, UK), where she was supervised by Prof Pantelis Georgiou. Amparo’s PhD research focused on the design of mathematical models of the neural regulation of glucose homeostasis. During her doctoral training, Amparo was a visiting PhD research fellow in the Computational Sensory-Motor Systems Lab led by Prof Ralph Etienne-Cummings at Johns Hopkins University, where she gained knowledge on the in vivo impact of neural stimulation on blood glucose fluctuations. As a postdoctoral 1851 Research Fellow at the Bioelectronic Lab, Amparo aims to develop advanced algorithms and neurotechnology to be integrated into a closed-loop platform that improves glucose control for diabetes.
