Teaching

Associate professor in School of Informatics (ETS d'Enginyeria Informàtica, ETSINF)
at Universitat Politècnica de València (UPV).
Member of the Instituto de Automática e Informática Industrial (AI2).

Currently, I'm the Academic Director of the Industrial Informatics and Robotics BSc (Grado en Informática Industrial y Robótica), organized in the School of Informatics of the UPV. Also, I'm teaching on topics related to Robotics, 3D, CADCAM and Digital Manufacturing in the next courses...

ROBÓTICA DE SERVICIOS [34392]  

Master Universitario en Automática e Informática Industrial  

Elective course focused on understanding the possibilities offered by service robotics, both commercial and personal, to improve the quality of life of human beings in their multiple environments.

RII PROJECT 1:ORGANIZATION AND SCENARIOS [145580]  

Grado en Informática Industrial y Robótica  

This course is aimed to set the foundations for the development of projects in the field of robotics and industrial informatics.

DISEÑO Y MODELADO 3D [11640]  

Grado en Ingeniería Informática  

Elective course aimed to motivate about 3D geometric modeling concepts.

Research

My main research is about 3D models and formats applied to ancient artifacts recomposition and restoration.

Recently, I was leading a Spanish research project funded by the Ministry of Economy, Industry and Competitiveness about restoration of ancient archaelogic fragments
DESARROLLO DE UN SISTEMA INTEGRADO DE RESTAURACIÓN, RECOMPOSICIÓN, RESTITUCIÓN Y REPRESENTACIÓN DE FRAGMENTOS ARQUEOLÓGICOS
(HAR2015-69408-R)  


I've been also involved, in collaboration with the Valencian Government, in the development of an informatics tool in an anti-fraud programme under the project
DESARROLLO DE MODELOS, MÉTODOS Y ALGORITMOS RELACIONADOS CON LA PUESTA EN MARCHA DE LA APLICACIÓN INFORMÁTICA DEL SISTEMA DE ALERTAS TEMPRANAS

T+L

TEACHING+LEARNING

One of my main interests is about Teaching and Learning (T+L) innovation.

Education nowadays must change and adapt to new/current society needs, and this means our commitment not only about the way we teach, but also about the way the students learn. New models of teaching and assessment, together with outcomes-based adapted curricula are just one way to drive this change.

Read here my Teaching Statement (in English and Spanish)

Watch here how my teaching is considered according to the survey that the students have to fill out every year. The survey asks for different aspects that the students need to value between 0 and 10 (máximum value). The graph shows the median value for every academic year (personal average), compared to the media value of my department (dept average).

At UPV, we are working on a new model about T+L, deploying competences-based curricula via learning outcomes, using educational technologies and monitoring the progress of our students, as a feedback to the model.

I collaborate with some universities and accreditation agencies about T+L improvement, but my main collaboration is with InnovaHiEd, a network of experts that offer capacity building, consulting and mentoring to STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics) and related disciplines’ educators and leaders.

InnovaHiEd is affiliated with the International Federation of Engineering Education Societies (IFEES) to provide consultancy and training to HEIs and individuals. In this context, I'm participating as a lecturer in the IGIP International Engineering Educator Certification, a program that provides educators in engineering, technology and related disciplines training focused on obtaining the prestigious IGIP International Engineering Education Certification, Ing.Paed.IGIP.
