Dr. Juan Ignacio Sánchez is professor and Knight-Ridder Byron Harless Eminent Scholar in the Department of Global Leadership and Management (GLaM) at the Florida International University. Earlier in his academic career at the same institution, he served as the founding chair of the GLaM department and faculty director of the Master of Science in Human Resource Management, where he designed and launched the master’s program, which is now ranked #2 by HR.com and has over 1,000 alumni, including the chief people officers of several Fortune 500 companies.

He has taught topics including organizational behavior, organizational design, staffing organizations, performance and talent management, HR effectiveness, and applied psychology training, among others.

Juan Ignacio Sánchez was vice president at Large of the Greater Miami Society for HRM (GMSHRM, now HR Miami) and was also elected Fellow of the American Psychological Association and of the Society for Industrial and Organizational Psychology. He is currently serving on his fifth U.S. National Academy of Sciences panel. For the Federal Government of the United States, he was a panelist in the development of a competency model for infant and toddler caregivers for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (20 17). From 2011 to 2013, he was a Special Government Employee for the Occupational Information Development Advisory Panel (OIDAP), at the Social Security Administration, GSA 14.

Juan Ignacio Sánchez joined Tecnológico de Monterrey as Distinguished Visiting Professor in Organizational Behavior and Human Capital for the Business School and EGADE Business School.

Overview

Dr. Rob Roggema was a landscape-driven design and sustainable urban environments professor at three universities in the Netherlands and the University of Technology Sydney in Australia. He is a visiting professor in Landscape Urbanism at Queen’s University Belfast in Northern Ireland and was a Distinguished Visiting Professor at Western Sydney University in Australia, and a Distinguished Global Professor at KEIO University in Japan.

He is the founder of Cittaideale, an office for adaptive design, spatial planning, and design research for regenerative urban environments and landscapes. Some of the design concepts he has developed are FoodRoofRio, a rooftop garden with an aquaponic system that provided food for families in the Cantagalo favela in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil; Moeder Zernike, a regional long-term regenerative plan for the northern part of the Netherlands; and Nature Rich Netherlands,
a national plan to convert Dutch land use to 50% nature while solving problems related to climate change impacts, nitrogen deposition, and housing.

For his Ph.D., he developed the Swarm Planning concept, a new method for planning and responding to climate adaptation and spatial design. Rob Roggema’s research interests are in creating innovative spatial solutions for regenerative urban landscapes. He has facilitated over 40 design charrettes in the Netherlands, Japan, Mongolia, China, Jordan, India, Australia, and New Zealand, engaging communities, academics, governments, and industries in complex design processes to address wicked problems.

Rob Roggema joined Tecnológico de Monterrey as a Distinguished Professor in Regenerative Cultures for the School of Architecture, Art and Design.

Overview

Dr. Sergio Fajardo is a mathematician, professor, and politician. At the beginning of his career, he worked for different scientific institutions in Colombia, such as the National Council for Basic Sciences (transformed in 2019). Later on, in 2016 and 2019, he held the position of visiting professor at the Center for Latin American Studies at the University of California, Berkeley, in the United States.

In 1999, he founded the civic movement Compromiso Ciudadano, with which he was elected mayor of Medellín for the 2004–2007 term with the highest number of votes registered at that time in the history of the city. His administration was characterized by a new form of public management, focused on citizenship, transparency, and social innovation, which resulted in the highest acceptance and popularity rates in Colombia. He led the greatest transformation of Medellín: from a city of inequality and violence to a global example of social change through education and urbanism.

From 2012 to 2015, he was governor of Antioquia, where he worked against inequality, violence, and corruption, and led its economic and social improvement. He was a candidate for the Colombian presidential elections in 2018 and 2022. In 2023, Sergio Fajardo co-founded the political party Dignidad y Compromiso.

As a mathematician, the central topics of his research were mathematical logic and the area of theory of probability models. In politics, his work has focused on urbanism, territorial development, education, and gender equality, to name a few.

Overview

Dr. Carlos Coello is a professor with distinction (Investigador CINVESTAV 3F) at the Center for Research and Advanced Studies of the Instituto Politécnico Nacional (CINVESTAV-IPN) in Mexico City and visiting professor at the Basque Center for Applied Mathematics in Spain. Has taught master’s and Ph.D. level courses on evolutionary computation, evolutionary multiobjective optimization, programming languages, and engineering optimization at CINVESTAV-IPN. In addition, he has taught short courses in Spain, England, India, U.S., among others.

His research interests are evolutionary computation (genetic algorithms and evolution strategies), as well as engineering optimization. His main contributions have been the design of biologically inspired stochastic algorithms to solve highly complex multi-objective optimization problems (mainly non-linear). He has made pioneering contributions to this area, which is now known as evolutionary multi-objective optimization. For example, he proposed, along with his research group, the first genetic micro-algorithm for multi-objective optimization, which has been used in real-world applications in several countries, like the United States, for the design of supersonic business jets. He is member of the Foundation Advisory Board of the International AIQT Foundation, which strives to establish a highly competitive (international-level) research center in artificial intelligence and quantum technology.

Among his multiple special recognitions and awards, Dr. Carlos Coello was awarded by the International Society on Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) the 2024 MCDM Edgeworth-Pareto Award. In 2023, he won the Premio Crónica in Science and Technology and was selected by Líderes magazine as part of their "300 most influential leaders in Mexico" list, taking the 69th position. He also won the SIGEVO Outstanding Contribution Award (2023) given by the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), the IEEE Computational Intelligence Society Evolutionary Computation Pioneer Award (2021), among many others.

Dr. Coello is level 3 in the National System of Researchers (SNII) in Mexico and was also ranked #289 in the world and #1 in Mexico in the 8th Edition of the Guide2Research 2022 Ranking of Top 1000 Scientists in the field of Computer Science and Electronics.
