The Teleco who wanted to teach

As a child, he debated with his grandfather about Plato and Aristotle (he was always more of an Aristotelian). He began to analyse how the brain learns when he had to teach a schoolmate to multiply so that his teachers would allow him to play a football game. Then, driven by his interest in artificial intelligence, he graduated in Telecommunications Engineering and was part of the first graduating class of “computer scientists” in Spain. Today he runs IteNlearning, a company he founded to transform scientific knowledge into technologies and use them to help students learn optimally, regardless of their socio-economic level.
