Andrés  Felipe Salazar Gómez is a research scientist at MIT Open Learning working on   neuroscience and education. 

Prior, he was a postdoctoral associate at the MIT  Jameel World Education Lab working on data science education and a postdoctoral fellow at the Distributed Robotics Lab at MIT where he explored the use of brain activity for volitional control of robots during human-robot collaborative tasks. 

He was a visiting student at the Miller Lab at the Picower Institute for Learning and Memory at MIT where he worked on non-human primate electrophysiology and decoder error detection during brain-machine interface (BMI) control. 

The focus of his research is developing BMI for augmentative and alternative communication and human-robot interaction, and   exploring ways to improve higher education in Latin America especially for STEM education. He received his B.Sc. in Biomedical Engineering from EIA University, Colombia, and earned his Ph.D. in Computational Neuroscience from Boston University.
