David Cruz Ortiz obtained the B.S. in Biomedical Engineering from the National Polytechnic Institute in June 2013, and the
Advanced Technology Master’s Degree from the same institute in December 2015. He obtained his Ph.D. in Automatic
Control Sciences from the Center for Research and Advanced Studies of the National Polytechnic Institute (CINVESTAV-IPN) in
February 2020 at Mexico City. 

The research activities of Ph.D. David Cruz Ortiz include teaching experience at the bachelor level with courses such as
dynamic systems, digital systems, circuit analysis, digital signal and image processing, as well as medical instrumentation at UPIBI-IPN. As part of his academic activities, he has been served as co-advisor of 9 bachelor thesis aside from 3 thesis
at the master level. Related to the development of scientific projects, he has served as co-investigator of five research projects
and as the main investigator of three more. David Cruz Ortiz has published 14 articles in JCR journals and more than 20 articles in
national and international conferences in the areas of automatic control, robotic systems, and biomedical engineering. In addition, he served as a program chair member of the International Conference on Electrical Engineering, Computing Science and Automatic Control (CCE) in 2020.

His main research interests include robust control and bilateral control theories, as well as the design, construction, and control of bio-inspired robotic systems. In the biomedical field, its areas of interest refer to the development of robotic medical systems with surgical and rehabilitation applications.
