Biography

Mateo is an undergraduate student studying mechanical engineering at the University of Calgary with a minor in biomedical engineering specializing in imaging techniques and computational simulations.

In 2022, his project was the application of the voidspace analysis protocol to knee images and afterwards analyzing longitudinal changes in voidspace prevalence and spatial distribution within trabecular bone tissue. Data is collected using advanced imaging techniques, including HR-pQCT.

In 2024, his project focuses on asynchronous calibration protocols for CT imaging and developing image processing methods to extract quantitative data from CT images.

In 2025, his project focuses on developing a quantitative method to track bone changes in people with implants using standard X-ray scans that are opportunistically examined from their clinical data.
