About

University professor and researcher at the Autonomous University of Sinaloa (School of Physical Education and Sport, Mazatlán), with an interdisciplinary background: B.Sc. in Information Systems Engineering and B.Sc. in Sports Education; Master’s in Education and Master’s in Adapted Sport Training; currently a Ph.D. candidate in Sports Education and Sciences. My academic work integrates sport sciences, university pedagogy, and data analytics (SPSS/Excel) for physical evaluation, competency-based curriculum design (UAS 2022 Model/NEM), and the improvement of teaching practice through active methodologies and inclusion. I have coordinated academic–administrative processes, led applied research projects, and supervised students under the Delfín Program. My research focuses on training periodization and planning, motor evaluation (Eurofit), biomechanics, and applied statistics; I also explore the responsible integration of Artificial Intelligence in education to strengthen evidence-based decision-making. I have published peer-reviewed articles and contributed to editorial projects in 2025 on academic performance in higher education and motor habits in secondary schools; I also participated in the curriculum reform of the B.A. in Physical Education. I maintain continuous professional development in university teaching, AI, and sport sciences. My primary goal is to generate useful and transferable evidence that enhances the quality of physical education and human performance with methodological rigor and social commitment.
