F. Medrano is an Assistant Professor of Computer Science at Texas A&M University–Corpus Christi and a computational geographer with 11 years of experience building fast, scalable spatial optimization algorithms. He earned a PhD from UC Santa Barbara and co-founded Arogi, an open-source geospatial startup that translated research-grade route and logistics heuristics into production web tools. His research and teaching bridge theory and practice: from faster exact and heuristic methods for p-median/p-center and multi-objective shortest-path problems to parallel corridor-path algorithms for raster terrain and mentoring UAV swarm resilience and ML for environmental science. He led the GOAL lab, helped secure a major NSF AI for Environmental Science award, and has guided multiple MS and PhD graduates to completion. Unusually for an algorithms researcher, he pairs this technical work with hands-on startup product leadership and a background as a professional touring bass singer, reflecting a blend of rigor, creativity, and practical delivery.
