Profile
Dr. Jorge Gil Tejeda is a Full Professor and Researcher affiliated with the Department of Technology and Production at the Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana, Xochimilco Campus. He completed a Postdoctoral stay at the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México under the Institutional Consolidation program of Conacyt. He obtained his Doctorate with the distinction of Outstanding Cum Laude in Technological Innovation Projects from the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC) in Spain. He also holds a Master's degree in Design and Bionics awarded by the European Institute of Design in Milan, Italy.
Currently, he conducts studies on Human Interaction Cycles generated by various objects, both analog and virtual, linking disciplines based on science such as Cognitive Ergonomics, Industrial Ergonomics, Macro-Ergonomics, User-Centered Design, Micro-Ergonomics, Usability, Accessibility, Ergonomic Evaluation, and User Experience (UX). This has enabled him to develop numerous publications at the international level and to deliver various presentations in Madrid, Barcelona, India, Croatia, Paris, Nice, Switzerland, Italy, San Francisco, New York, Cuba, Germany, the Netherlands, among others. Regarding thesis supervision, he has worked with students in Applied Science and Technological Development, with the main objective of providing service to the community and society, involving the use of various emerging technologies in the research process, which generates different reflections on the incorporation of technological devices into our daily lives, their analysis, and critique, aiming to train future Masters and Doctors with a holistic vision.
Additionally, Dr. Jorge Gil is coordinating the Research Project: Scenarios of Human Interaction and Emerging Technologies applied to user groups with Functional Diversity and Disability, which was approved by the Divisional Academic Council in February 2022. This project continues the achievements of the research initiative from 2015-2021: Interaction Scenarios for the Visually Impaired. Furthermore, he is developing work with specific communities to promote Rural Development. He is currently part of the National System of Researchers, holding the level of National Researcher Level I due to his contributions to basic and frontier science.
