Miguel Angel Pérez Xochicale, also known as Miguel Xochicale, is originally from Xicohtzinco, Tlaxcala, México where he received his basic education. In 2004, he received a B.Sc. degree in Electronics at Puebla Institute of Technology (ITP), México. In 2006, he received his M.Sc. degree in Electronics at the National Institute of Astrophysics, Optics and Electronics (INAOE), México.

Between 2006 to 2013, he was a teaching associate in the areas of Electronics, Mechatronic and Computer Engineering at three Universities in Puebla, México. In 2013, he was a research associate in Robotics for six months at INAOE's robotics laboratory where he developed a Human-Robot Dance Interaction. Such work along with other contributions of the Markovito’s team was presented at the Mexican Tournament of Robotics 2013 wining the first place in the category at HOME

Between January to July 2014, he prepared his application for a PhD scholarship. In October 2014, he then was awarded a four-year PhD scholarship by the Mexican National Council for Science and Technology (CONACYT) and the University of Birmingham. During his four-year PhD, he investigated nonlinear analysis of movement variability in the context of human-robot interaction under the supervision of Prof. Chris Baber, chair of Pervasive and Ubiquitous Computing, and Prof. of Information Engineering Martin Russell.

In July 2019, he was awarded a PhD in Computer Engineering where one of his achievements is the publication of the first Open Accessible and 100% reproducible PhD thesis since the establishment of the University of Birmingham in 1900.

Currently, he is a Research Associate in the Department of Surgical and Interventional Engineering at King's College London where he is pushing forward the state-of-the-art of ultrasound-guided procedures by making scientific contributions to new algorithms, software and hardware.
