Campos-Sandoval, Juan Manuel

Juan Manuel Campos has been Academic Director and Associate Director of the EIC for more than ten years. Currently, he serves as Program Director of the Mechatronics Career and Director of Entry in the Computer Science and Biotechnology careers at the Aguascalientes Campus. In 2023 he completed 18 years of service at Tecnológico de Monterrey, during which he has also served as a Professor and has obtained the recognitions of "Inspirational Professor 2016" at the National Level and "Inspirational Professor 2022", as well as those of "Professor who leaves a mark" in the 70th, 75th and 80th anniversary of our institution and holds the degree of "Associate Professor" in the regulations of classification of professors in force at Tecnológico de Monterrey. She served on the National Teacher Classification Committee in 2023. His projects in educational research and health have earned him 3 NOVUS awards, including several research articles and two published books. He has also been a mentor for the Writing Lab Program since 2019. Juan Manuel Campos completed his engineering studies at the Monterrey Campus and his master's and doctorate studies at the University of Paris-Saclay, collaborating with the Orsay Space Astrophysics Center in conjunction with the European Space Agency and Alcatel R&D in France. He has also belonged to the National Academic Senate, the National System of Researchers (SNI) and for 15 years he has been a local manager and instructor at the Cisco Academy in Aguascalientes. Currently, he is a member of the Advisory Council of the Institute of Science and Technology of the State of Aguascalientes (INCyTEA), a government agency. For Juan Manuel Campos, the inclusion of economic and sociological precepts in engineering is fundamental and he believes that engineers should become more involved in innovation for social transformation. For him, the economy plays a central role that is not always adequately dimensioned, which is why he closely follows various reports from international organizations such as the IDB, the World Bank, the IMF and the OECD, taking a particular interest in the issues of innovation, economic growth, digital transformation, gender gap, women in engineering and technological development. He was accepted as an attendee at the 2017 OECD Economic Forum and also invited as an attendee at one of the World Economic Forum conferences in Davos in 2023. He firmly believes in the integration of various disciplines to encourage the generation of knowledge, research and innovation. Consider the alliance of Basic Sciences, IT, Data Science and Mechatronics Engineering as fundamental to overcoming some of the most important challenges in public health; an example of this is his Sonidoc project, a Web platform with which he has modeled and diagnosed hearing loss in more than 10,000 people, mainly children. In 2019, she was the organizing leader of the Beautiful Patterns bootcamp at the Aguascalientes Campus, originally conceived between Tec de Monterrey and MIT to promote the promotion of more high school students to continue their university studies venturing into the areas of STEM; since 2020, Juan Manuel Campos has been part of the national committee of this bootcamp. Specialized in information processing technologies and electronic systems, he promotes the assumption of social responsibility by engineers at the level of the political, financial and economic professions. He maintains contact with internationally important companies such as Amazon, Cisco and CapGemini. Juan Manuel Campos created two small companies in the IT area and has encouraged several of his students to pursue a master's or doctorate in Mexico or abroad. He sees in his students the future and hope.
