Based in the Bellamy Building (BEL 655), he maintains office hours by appointment and can be contacted at mastudillorodas@fsu.edu.

Dr. Astudillo Rodas' research examines strategic talent management in Colombian public institutions, with significant contributions to understanding transparency-corruption dynamics and digital workplace communication. His methodology frequently employs mixed-method approaches, as demonstrated in his 2024 WhatsApp workplace study. Current investigations address diverse workforce challenges and transnational public affairs education models, particularly US-China academic partnerships.

His publication trajectory reveals three interconnected research streams: (1) foundational frameworks for strategic human talent management in Colombia (2015-2018), (2) empirical analyses of transparency and corruption (2023), and (3) contemporary explorations of digital tools and workforce diversity (2021-2024). This progression demonstrates increasing methodological sophistication while maintaining focus on Colombian public sector transformation.
