Research Interests
The research focuses on the intersection of digital transformation, educational pedagogy, and institutional management within higher education. A central theme involves the application of Business Process Management (BPM) to facilitate digital transformation in universities, addressing documentation gaps and process optimization to meet the demands of Industry 4.0. Complementing this, investigations into pedagogical frameworks—specifically within Salesian institutions—explore the integration of preventive education, educational technologies, and interculturality to foster student well-being and global citizenship. Furthermore, the work extends to the comparative analysis of specialized medical curricula, utilizing algorithmic approaches to evaluate and standardize neurology training programs across Latin America. Collectively, these studies highlight the necessity for inter-institutional collaboration, the development of robust support mechanisms for digital management, and the standardization of educational requirements to enhance equity and quality in academic training.
