Valdés-Aguirre, Benjamín

Hi, I'm Benjamin. I'm researcher and teacher in computer science. My research area is the development of smart technologies to improve users learning experience using techniques from the field Artificial Intelligence. I make a rule of enjoying what I do, I'm also people friendly and objective driven. In more personal matters, I have clear goals regarding what I aim to achieve in education both socially and technically, and it is very important to me that the organization where I'm at shares them. The fact that I care so much for what I do means that I aim to be both strict and inspiring, in and out of the classroom. I am outspoken against the use of adulation or intimidation as pedagogic tools which undermine the quality of education, and reduces communication with students. If you can't talk to the people you are supposed to help develop, then odds are you can't do a proper job. I enjoy reading, writing, playing all sorts of games and learning new languages by talking to people.
