Teaching timeline

Total ECTS credits taught: 80.95 ECTS (809.5 hours).

My teaching experience spans undergraduate and graduate levels across several Spanish universities, covering a broad range of topics from introductory programming to advanced computer systems and high-performance computing, in three different teaching languages (Spanish, Catalan, and English). I began as predoctoral teaching staff at the Universitat Jaume I (2017–2020), where I taught Computer Architecture, Computer Technology, Basic Informatics, and supervised Bachelor’s theses in Computer Science and Video Game Design. Later, as an Adjunct Lecturer at the Universitat Oberta de Catalunya (2021/2022), I delivered Fundamentals of Programming fully online.

From 2021 to 2024, I combined postdoctoral and assistant professor roles at the Universidad de Valladolid, teaching Supercomputing and Big Data, Algorithms and Computation, Parallel Computing and Distributed Systems, Operating Systems Structure, and Embedded Systems, as well as supervising undergraduate theses. In 2024/2025, I returned to Universitat Jaume I as a substitute lecturer in Computer Structure and Operating Systems. Since 2025, I have been an Assistant Professor at the Universitat de València, teaching User Interfaces, Data Structures and Algorithms, Software Engineering I, Programming (Double Degree in Mathematics and Computer Engineering), and supervising Bachelor’s theses in Computer and Telecommunication Engineering.

Next, I describe in detail the courses I have taught, including its ECTS load.
