Bio

Arístides P. Carrillo-Fernandez (he/him) is a Ph.D. graduate from the School of Engineering Education at Purdue University. For over six years, he worked as an export business development manager at a Spanish radio communications company in Madrid, Spain. During that time, he developed new distribution dealer networks in Western Europe and African countries. He earned his M.S. in Electronics and Systems of Telecommunication at ESIGELEC (École Supérieur D’Ingénieurs en Génie Électrique) at Rouen, France, and his B.S. in Systems of Telecommunication at the Polytechnic University of Madrid at Madrid, Spain.

Arístides’ primary research interests are exploring the functional role of empathy in various domains, including engineering team processes and teamwork performance, engineering thinking, diversity, and intercultural engineering practice.
