Carmen Guzman-Garcia

Carmen Guzman-Garcia is a fixed-term researcher in the Department of Engineering and Architecture at the University of Parma, where she contributes to interdisciplinary programs bridging engineering, veterinary medicine, and medical education. She teaches courses in Artificial Intelligence for materials science and Informatics within graduate-level programs, including the Second Cycle Degree in Functional and Sustainable Materials and the Full Cycle (5 years) Veterinary Medicine program.

Her research focuses on the development and evaluation of innovative technologies for clinical and surgical training. Key areas include virtual reality simulations, psychomotor skill assessment, stress monitoring in educational environments, and e-learning platforms for minimally invasive surgery. She employs methodologies from biomedical engineering, cognitive psychology, and human-computer interaction to enhance medical education outcomes.

The recent publications highlight a strong trend in using immersive technologies for objective clinical assessment, particularly in cardiopulmonary resuscitation and surgical skill acquisition. Her work integrates technical metrics with behavioral and cognitive data to build comprehensive models of performance and learning in high-stakes medical environments.

While no scientific awards are currently listed, her collaborative research involves prominent institutions and researchers in surgical simulation and medical informatics.

She advises no publicly listed students, but her role in curriculum design and technology-driven pedagogy suggests significant mentorship and educational leadership. There is no mention of external grants in the provided text. Her work is closely aligned with applied research in medical simulation labs, though no specific lab or team name is provided.
