General
Description
I am an Industrial Designer with a Master’s degree in Industrial Engineering from UIS. I have 15 years of experience in both the public and private sectors. Over the past five years, I have worked in academia as an assistant professor and researcher in multidisciplinary teams.
My research focuses on identifying requirements and manufacturing processes for medical devices that enhance the precision of surgeons and medical students, or help them acquire specific skills through collaboration with industrial designers. As an educator, my goal is to strengthen Industrial Design students’ mathematical, physical, and electronic competencies so they can face complex challenges in their profession.
