Formación de Capital Humano


I have directed 20 undergraduate theses and 6 MSc theses (one additional MSc student is starting this semester). Currently I am supervising 3 PhD students. I teach three courses in the Department of Mechanical and Metallurgical Engineering: Energy Conversion (undergraduate--Major in Mechanical Engineering), Computational Fluid Dynamics (postgraduate) and Combustion (postgraduate).
