Gabriela Alejandra Bravo Illanes

Designing next generation of consumer robotics such as Amazon Astro

Worked for Amazon Prime Air, Systems Engineering Team. Developed a simulation software on Python of multiple drones. Simulation outputs help to take system level decisions.

• Designed, prototyped and tested a knee-motion tracking system using IMU sensors and a novel algorithm written on Matlab. Product designed to monitor recovery on patients after a knee ligament reconstruction • Work was published in the Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society (EMBC), 41st Annual International Conference of the IEEE. 2019 titled “IMU Sensor Fusion Algorithm for Monitoring Knee Kinematics in ACL Reconstructed Patients”.

• Designed and fabricated assistive tools for people with reduced mobility. These tools were designed in collaboration with physicians, occupational therapists (OT) and 3Dprinted. They allowed the OT to stop handcrafting these tools, and at the same time, offered to the patient a cheaper, aesthetically pleasant, washable alternative. Designs: https://www.thingiverse.com/GabrielaB/designs • Fabricated anatomical models for complex surgery planning using patient’s computed tomography and a 3D printer. • Designed and fabricated skulls implants in collaboration with neurosurgeon. A 3D printed mold was fabricated based on patient’s CT scan, sterilized, and used to create implant with CranioplasticR©. This alternative was up to 50% cheaper than the current provider • Co-founder of the Laboratory of Clinical Innovation. This laboratory serve as a hub where health professionals and engineers can develop technologies that facilitate and assist rehabilitation, surgery planning and diagnosis • Speaker in several congresses about the application of 3D printers in a clinical environment. --Health symposium. “Simposio Salud 2017: Nuevas Tecnologías, Avances y Desafíos”. Speaker. July, 2017. --1st National Congress in Digital Manufacturing. “Fab en Chile: Estado del Arte”. Speaker. March, 2017. --1st Colloquium of Medical Applications of 3D printing. Organizer and speaker. October, 2016.

• Directed and implemented new quality standards to improve internal processes and customer service in all branches along the country. • Designed and implemented a dynamic equipment maintenance plan based on historical data and fork lift manufacturer recommendations using macros in Excel

Managed the team of teaching assistants of the course "Properties and resistance of materials". I designed and organized the course activities which were imparted by the team (This class had approximately 400 students).

Attended students inquiries about how and where to do formalities inside the university.

Courses: Mechanical behavior of materials (2013-2014), Properties and strength of materials (2011-2014), Thermodynamics (2014), "Dynamics of mechanical systems" (2012), "Mechanics of solids" (2012)

Assisted students with the use of the PCB router

Design of a software that compute remaining life of a component based on its load history measured with a strain gauge in its critical point. Code written on Matlab.

Design and fabrication of mechanism and software (in LabView) to automate a machine that tested the injector spring of mining trucks.

Fields: Mechatronics and Robotics

Studied how to set up safely and operate manual mills and lathes, and some basics of Computer Numerical Control (CNC)

Graduate at position 6 of 608 student (G.P.A 6.2/7), awarded as the "Best graduate in the Mechanical engineering department" (2014)
