Formación de Capital Humano


I have participated teaching at the School of Engineering, in the undergradute and graduate program and also at the Master in Industrial Engineering, a profesional program where I have directed more tan 15 thesis with applications to industry.


Difusión y Transferencia


I have participated in seminars presented to industry in 2011 and 2012, organized by our Master Program, together with "El Diario Financiero". As part of my participation in the Millenium Inniciative Project "Nucleous in Information and Coordination in Netorks", I have participated in outreach activities oriented to school students and also to high school teachers. I was in charge of the ourreach activities of that Project. In addition, I have participated in profesional education seminars and diploma programs where I have shown the various impacts of optimization.
