(2010) from Universidad Politécnica de Valencia, under the supervisión of Manuel Contero. His thesis work on «Study and technological support to improve spatial skills in engineering students» received honored mention as Cum-Laude from the Doctoral Thesis Tribunal and a publication of this work was Awarded as the Most Downloaded paper Award 2010 by Elsevier. His research interests span the development of applications based on virtual technologies to improve teaching and learning processes at all levels of education, both formal and non-formal education. In 2013 he received an Educational innovation award from Universidad de La Laguna. He is a professor at Universidad de La Laguna since 2002, where he teaches Graphic Engineering and Technical Office/Project on Mechanical Engineering Degree and Master Industrial. He was visiting professor at the University of Toronto in 2016-17 (6 months), at Tecnológico de Monterrey (4 months), the Slovak University of Technology in Bratislava (1 months), Universidad Politécnica de Valencia (2 times – 6 months), Universidad de Jaén (2 times – 5months). Dr. Martin is an international guest editor for several scientific journals. Currently is Director of atRAe research group, and member of ASEE, ASME and UXPA.
Prof. Martín-Gutierrez focus his research on the field of Engineering Education and virtual reality technologies. He has published in the area of augmented reality applied to the learning process and more recently on learning outcomes for skill development and valid assessment methods for measuring learning outcomes. His research examines the learning environment as a designed system and takes an engineering design approach to reimagining the learning experience.
Currently, he is reimagining the undergraduate academic experience across the faculty of engineering and Technology and touches into pedagogical innovation programs, educational technology, and work-integrated learning throught virtual and augmented reality.
Prof. Martín-Gutierrez has taught courses in Technical Office, Engineering Projects, engineering graphics and Research and innovative processes, Design of videogames and Production of videogames among others.
