Mathematics is not only an activity, but also a recourse that it needs at all levels to represent and control it or to control all other observers of our time.
It's not easy to learn mathematics, but you can't commit to it.
We offer mathematics courses for university graduates in all degree programs, as well as courses for graduates of institutes and universities

I hold a PhD in Mechanical Engineering and currently, I am working as a post-doctoral researcher in the Aerospace Engineering Faculty at TU Delft (Delft University of Technology).

I have extensive experience in teaching various Mechanical design packages, including LS-DYNA, ANSYS, APDL programming, ABAQUS, MATLAB, SolidWorks, Cura, and Symbolic MATLAB.

Some of the finite element modeling and numerical simulations I have worked on include:
- Multiscale finite element modeling for fatigue crack propagation in porous materials.
- Analysis of multiple-layer sandwich structures' resistance to bird-strike impact [Read paper].
- Investigation of debonding propagation in aluminum and glass/epoxy composite joints under fatigue loading using Fracture Mechanics principles.
- Computational prediction of the fatigue behavior of additively manufactured porous metallic biomaterials.
- Study of the effect of material type, stacking sequence, and impact location on pedestrian head injury in collisions.

If you have any additional questions before starting the class, please don't hesitate to ask me. I am here to help! :)

Objective: To understand AI without fear, to use it to simplify one's life, to know how to identify digital traps, and to use Word, Excel, etc. without difficulty.

1: Demystifying AI (What exactly is it?)
AI is not a movie robot: Difference between fiction and reality.

How it works (simply): The image of the "giant library": AI has read billions of books and uses them to predict the continuation of a sentence or create an image.

Where is it already present? Spell checkers, Netflix/YouTube suggestions, GPS, and voice assistants (Siri/Alexa).

2: Using AI to make life easier
Conversing with AI (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini):

Ask him to write an administrative email or a complex letter.

Summarize a long newspaper article or document.

Plan a travel itinerary or find recipe ideas with what's left in the fridge.

AI for creativity and memory:

Generate images to illustrate a birthday card (Midjourney, DALL-E).

Using AI to restore or colorize old family photos.

3: Learning to "talk" to AI (The Art of the Prompt)
The context method: Why "Give me a cake recipe" is less effective than "I am allergic to gluten and I am hosting 4 people, give me a simple chocolate cake recipe".

The expert's role: Learning to tell AI "Act like a travel guide" or "Act like an expert gardener".

4: Precautions and Critical Thinking (The Survival Guide)
"Hallucinations": Understand that AI can make false claims with complete certainty (never take medical or legal advice from AI without verification).

Privacy protection:

Never give sensitive data (social security number, passwords, bank details) to an AI.

Knowing that everything we write to the AI is potentially used to train it.

Spotting "Deepfakes":

How to recognize a doctored image or video (details on the hands, strange reflections, slightly metallic voice).

Verify the information: the golden rule of cross-referencing sources.

5: Ethics and Impacts (To go further)
Copyright: Who owns an image created by AI?

The environmental impact: The water and energy consumption of AI servers.

The future: Will AI replace us or assist us?

A personalized programming course for all levels, from complete beginner to advanced. The goal is simple: to empower you to truly code by understanding what you're doing. Whether you come with no experience, are preparing for an exam, or are in engineering school, this course adapts to your situation. We teach the fundamentals of programming by applying them to concrete problems that motivate you: creating a program, debugging code, building a small project. No abstract theory at first, but real learning through practice.

I don't start by explaining things, but by presenting you with a concrete problem to solve. As you solve it, you naturally discover the theoretical concepts because they become necessary and logical. During each lesson, you code live while I guide you with strategic questions; I never give you the answers on a silver platter. I regularly check your understanding and adjust the pace according to your progress. We use the language best suited to your goals: Python for beginners or for clarity in algorithms, JavaScript for web development, and Java/C++ for advanced concepts.

You'll learn solid fundamentals: variables, loops, conditionals, functions, and debugging. Depending on your level, we'll delve deeper into data structures, object-oriented programming, advanced algorithms, and complexity analysis. There's no set timeframe: we progress at your own pace, working on projects that truly interest you. My commitment: personalized attention, genuine adaptation to your goals, professionalism, and a real passion for helping you succeed in programming.

Equilibrium of rigid bodies is one of the topics which can be described as the foundation of the structural analysis for the superstructures. So, in this topic, the equilibrium conditions will be studied by us for the analysis of the two-dimensional structures. The application of those conditions will be studied as well.

I work with you as a Spanish-speaking international student to help you clearly and directly understand subjects such as engineering mathematics, physics, electronics across all areas (analogue, digital, power systems and circuits), signals and systems, and applied programming using tools like Python, MATLAB, or Arduino. The goal is for you to stop seeing these topics as abstract concepts in English and start truly understanding them in your own language, connecting theory with what is required at university. Each session is adapted to what you are covering in class, whether it is exam preparation, assignment support, or strengthening fundamentals, with simple, practical explanations focused on helping you progress with confidence.
