Q: Thank you for being here. So let's start by having to introduce yourself to our audience and share a little bit about your journey so far.
A: Okay, so my name is Jackie Flores, and I am Mexican. So have a bachelor degree in chemical engineering, but now I am doing things more related with biophysics biomedical engineering. So I did my bachelor's degree in Mexico, and then I did a master's degree also in Mexico.
So during my master, I moved to Barcelona one year. So I spent one year in the University of Barcelona, and then I came back to Mexico, finished my master's degree, and then I did a PhD also in chemical engineering. But at that time, I started to work a little bit in fleet mechanics, which is the topic I am developing now. And I work with some professors. They're very nice professors that help me to figure out that I really like biomedical engineering things.
So I moved to Barcelona again, I stayed in Barcelona during my PhD one year, and then I moved to Coimbra, which is a city in the center of Portugal, and I work at the University of Coimbra for almost one year. And then I came back to Mexico, I finished my PhD, and then I worked in Mexico at both a private university and also in a public university. I want to mention that the university is a public university, you only pay a small amount. It's almost like free universities. So it's affordable for medioclass people, which my family is from middle class, low class, so it's affordable for us.
And then finishing my PhD, I worked for university, and then I got a scholarship from the Mexican government to go to the UK. So then I moved to the UK. I work with a professor from the King's College London, and after that, I came back to Mexico, also worked for a public university, and then I got a position here in the Hong Kong Polytechnic University, where I am now doing research. So now I am Researcher. So I've been doing both teaching at universities and doing research.
