Bio:

I hold a PhD in Sociology from the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM). My doctoral thesis was awarded the prize for the best thesis in sociology in Mexico City in 2010. I work in the Department of Computer Science at ETH Zurich (ETHZ) and collaborate on several projects focused on teaching computer science at the primary and secondary school levels. I have translated teaching materials developed in Switzerland into Spanish. Additionally, I have tested these materials in Mexico and Colombia, comparing the results with those obtained in Switzerland to analyze how students learn programming in different cultural environments. I have also contributed to the conceptual and methodological design of studies in various areas.
