Summary
Tomas De Camino Beck is an academic leader and applied researcher with 11 years of professional experience directing the School of Intelligent Systems at Universidad Cenfotec while teaching graduate courses in automata, algorithms and AI. His background bridges mathematical biology (PhD) and computer science, with postdoctoral work in stochastic models for biological invasions and practical consulting on epidemiological models for PAHO during COVID-19. He has founded research and innovation centers, led R&D and makerspace initiatives across Latin America, and provides technical training for industry (Wolfram) and universities. Tomas combines hands-on hardware/software maker experience and STEAM education with data science and cyber-physical systems research, enabling interdisciplinary projects from deforestation risk models to interactive learning content. Notably, he pairs deep mathematical modeling skills with a history of building the first fabrication lab in Costa Rica, reflecting a blend of rigorous theory and practical innovation.
