Teaching

I teach physics as a hands-on, computational, and reproducible practice: students learn by building and running real analyses, not only by solving textbook problems.

Over more than a decade at Universidad Antonio Nariño I have taught the full introductory physics curriculum to students across the Arts, Engineering, and Sciences: mechanics, electricity and magnetism, waves, modern physics, thermodynamics, and astronomy. I develop the course materials.

Mentoring across disciplines

The students I mentor come from biotechnology, electronic engineering, and applied science. I introduce them to computational and machine learning research, guiding them from structured exercises toward independent investigation, including a co-advised doctoral project.

Teaching as scholarship

I study teaching directly: I am Co-Principal Investigator on a Spencer Foundation Vision Grant on equity, artificial intelligence, and curricular transformation for Afro-Colombian saberes vivos, where I lead the AI and machine learning component.

I also help deliver the same evidence-based, hands-on training to scientists internationally through the HEP Software Foundation and IRIS-HEP.
