Master Thesis
Kidney segmentation in MRI images using deep learning: A comparison between U-NET and Attention U-NETMy thesis addresses the increasing prevalence of Chronic Kidney Disease, which affects over 10% of the global population.
I focused on deep learning methods for kidney segmentation, an essential task in monitoring disease progression, particularly in patients with Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease. Using U-Net and Attention U-Net architectures, I applied both 2-class and 3-class segmentation to improve the segmentation of border regions. By experimenting with cross-entropy and focal loss functions on the PARENCHIMA dataset, I achieved a Dice coefficient of 0.966%, showcasing the potential for more accurate, user-independent kidney volume assessments that could reduce the need for manual segmentation and invasive biopsies.

Projects
Telecommunications projects highlight my expertise in image processing, image compression, radiofrequancy, and network protocols. Each project dives into key concepts such as data transmission, error correction, and system simulations, offering practical applications of core telecommunications principles demonstrating the ability to apply theoretical knowledge to solve real-world problems.
Control Systems projects showcase my skills in system modeling, stability analysis, and feedback control, including PID control strategies. Also, artificial intelligence projects taught me, mostly, key machine learning fundamentals. Each project explores concepts such as dynamic process control and system simulations.
Database projects put my SQL, PHP, HTML, and CSS skills to the test. These projects explore key concepts such as database design, data retrieval, and dynamic web page creation.
Signal processing projects complemented my telecommunications knowledge by deepening my understanding of techniques such as filtering, Fourier analysis, and modulation.
