Research Interests

Recent research:
The research trajectory focuses on the intersection of human perception, psychological well-being, and inclusive educational strategies. A central theme involves exploring the human experience through a transdisciplinary lens, examining how sensory perception, emotions, and cultural context—specifically contrasting Andean integrative worldviews with Western paradigms—shape individual identity and meaning construction. This work extends into the clinical and relational understanding of neurodiversity, particularly within the autism spectrum, emphasizing communication, social skills, and sensory processing as fundamental dimensions of human interaction.

Furthermore, the research addresses the impact of environmental stressors on family dynamics, investigating how lifestyle choices and coping mechanisms, such as positive reappraisal and problem-solving, facilitate adaptation during crises like health emergencies. Complementing these psychological insights, the work incorporates technological innovation to promote social inclusion. This includes the development of serious games and machine learning-based recommendation systems designed to provide personalized health and self-care education for individuals with intellectual disabilities, thereby bridging the gap between clinical needs and accessible digital learning tools.

Key Topics:
  • Psychological adaptation and stress coping
  • Neurodiversity and relational paradigms

  • Inclusive education and serious games
  • Integrative worldviews and cultural identity
  • Machine learning in personalized learning
