Research Interests
Across publications, the researcher consolidates AI, inclusive education, and accessible technology as a cohesive agenda for social inclusion. The work analyzes how artificial intelligence can empower people with disabilities in Ecuador, highlighting impacts on education and employment, autonomy, and family support, and linking these outcomes to national legislation and UN Sustainable Development Goals. It also foregrounds hardware, interface, and emerging technologies as critical enablers of inclusion, emphasizing practical, inclusive design for visual and sensory impairments and calling for aligned production and policy to advance accessibility in education, industry, and society. A common thread is the practical, real-world appraisal of tools and policies to expand access, autonomy, and opportunities for historically marginalized groups, with a strong focus on inclusive pedagogy, assistive tech, and responsible innovation. The methodology spans case studies, experience-based analysis, and non-probabilistic surveys with people with disabilities, aiming to translate insights into actionable guidelines for educators, institutions, and policymakers, while aligning with UN and international benchmarks.
