Dr. López brings over two decades of experience bridging higher education and industry, with professional roots in finance and information technology. He holds master's degrees in Education and Business Administration, and his scholarly interests center on technology's role in organizational life.

In the classroom, Dr. López teaches Database Management, Business Analytics, Artificial Intelligence, and Project Management at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. He is committed to learning environments that are demanding and supportive in equal measure; holding students to rigorous standards while investing genuinely in their growth.

His background in higher education leadership shapes how he approaches teaching: relationships matter, and learning is a long-term formation, not just a transaction. That conviction runs through everything from how he designs his courses to how he shows up for students inside and outside the classroom.
