Daniel Espinoza

M.Sc. in Software Engineering

Head of Systems Engineering

He spent twelve years in development before teaching his first class, and maintains that is the only reason his students listen to him about technical debt.

Karla Medrano

Ph.D. in Computer Science

Director of the Artificial Intelligence Centre

She has led the AI Centre since it was founded in 2023. She insists her students write the report before the model.

k.medrano@aurea.example

Sofía Brenes

M.Sc. in Quantitative Methods

Teacher and researcher

She teaches statistics on four different degrees and prepares a separate set of examples for each, because a sample of patients is not explained the way a sample of users is.

s.brenes@aurea.example

Patricia Zelaya

M.B.A.

Dean of the Business School

She founded the Business Observatory in 2019. Her students have worked with thirty-eight companies in the city, and all thirty-eight got the full report.

Héctor Laínez

M.Sc. in Finance

Head of Finance

He marks every model by opening the file and changing an assumption in front of you. His students learn to document cells before they learn to format them.

h.lainez@aurea.example

Gabriela Suazo

M.Sc. in Strategic Communication

Head of Marketing

She runs the agency studio, where twenty-six local brands have been served by student teams with a real budget and metrics agreed in writing.

g.suazo@aurea.example

Andrés Portillo

M.F.A. in Design

Head of Digital Design

He has kept the Friday studio crit going for nine years. Four hundred portfolios have gone past him and he still starts every review with the typography.

a.portillo@aurea.example

Inés Carrillo

M.Sc. in Educational Psychology

Head of Psychology and Student Wellbeing

She runs the degree and the wellbeing service at the same time, and maintains that the second job is what keeps the first one honest.

i.carrillo@aurea.example

Marcela Fuentes

M.Sc. in Education

Head of Upper Secondary

She runs all three baccalaureates. She knows all six hundred upper secondary students by name, which, she insists, is not a virtue but the job.

m.fuentes@aurea.example

Rodrigo Alvarenga

Degree in Physics

Science teacher · Upper Secondary

He has organised the Science Day since 2016. His laboratory runs largely on equipment the students built themselves.

r.alvarenga@aurea.example

Lucía Mejía

M.A. in Latin American Literature

Language teacher · Upper Secondary

She coaches the debating team on building an argument. She marks by hand and returns work inside a week.

l.mejia@aurea.example

Óscar Benítez

M.Sc. in Networks and Telecommunications

Teacher and infrastructure engineer

He keeps the campus network running and uses it as a laboratory: his students diagnose real incidents, supervised and without access to production.
