Academic Teaching

Teaching

Engineering education grounded in evidence, experimentation and critical judgement

More than ten years of university teaching across telecommunications, aerospace, robotics, acoustics, multimedia and digital technologies at undergraduate, double-degree and master’s level.

My teaching connects fundamental theory with real engineering decisions, experimental evidence and the critical assessment of technology.

I have taught across a wide range of programmes at the Universitat Politècnica de València and the University of Alicante, working with students in telecommunications, aerospace engineering, robotics, acoustics, audiovisual systems and digital media.

This experience has allowed me to teach the same underlying physical and mathematical principles to students with very different technical backgrounds, professional goals and ways of approaching complex problems.

Teaching approach

Theory · Evidence · Judgement
01

Fundamental understanding

Students must understand the physical meaning of equations and models before applying them mechanically.

02

Evidence and experimentation

Theory is connected with simulations, measurements, prototypes and the interpretation of imperfect real-world results.

03

Critical technological judgement

Students learn to test assumptions, identify unsupported claims and distinguish plausible answers from reliable evidence.

Academic career

Teaching engineers to think beyond the correct formula

My objective is to help students combine technical competence with intellectual independence. A strong engineer must be able to calculate, design and implement, but also to question assumptions, interpret evidence and understand the consequences of technological decisions.
