After a 2012 spinal cord injury left him with a diagnosis of <1% chance of regaining function, Ignacio spent over a decade at UCLA's leading neurorehabilitation lab combining spinal stimulation, exoskeleton training, and daily weight-bearing rehab. He is now a Ph.D. student at Georgia Tech, applying Al to the terabytes of clinical data his own recovery has produced – building a training protocol others can follow. His own injury is no longer classified as complete.
