Alma Espartinez serves as an Assistant Instructional Professor in the Department of Philosophy at Providence College, with her office located in St. Catherine of Siena Hall 113. Contact details include telephone (401) 865-2335 and email aesparti@providence.edu. Her research critically examines the intersection of philosophy, educational technology, and Philippine societal contexts. Key focus areas include AI integration in higher education (particularly ChatGPT applications), design thinking pedagogy in philosophy instruction, and Karol Wojtyła's Catholic personalism regarding human participation and self-fulfillment. Methodologically, she employs narrative inquiry and Q-Methodology to explore student-teacher dynamics during technological transitions and pandemic disruptions. Publication trends from 2014-2025 reveal three dominant threads: (1) Technological innovation in Philippine academia through AI tools, (2) Philosophical analysis of Wojtyła's works on marital ethics and human personhood, and (3) Pandemic-era sociological studies on faculty motherhood and community resilience. Her work consistently bridges theoretical philosophy with practical educational challenges in Global South contexts. No scientific awards are documented in the provided materials. While specific advisees and grant funding remain unlisted, her extensive publication record on Philippine higher education systems suggests significant research engagement. The absence of explicit mentoring details likely reflects incomplete documentation rather than lack of activity, given her focus on educational methodology. No dedicated laboratories or formal research teams are mentioned, though her narrative inquiry and Q-Methodology studies imply collaborative fieldwork with Philippine academic communities.

Raffi Duymedjian serves as Associate Professor in the Department of People, Organizations and Society at Grenoble Graduate School of Business, where he teaches information design for PowerPoint, argumentation, and knowledge management. His research bridges organizational theory with practical innovation frameworks, focusing on resource-constrained environments and sustainability transitions. His academic foundation includes a First Doctoral Degree in Industrial Engineering from the École Nationale Supérieure de Génie Industriel (Grenoble) and a Master's in Management from Grenoble Graduate School of Business. These qualifications underpin his interdisciplinary approach to organizational phenomena. Professor Duymedjian's research centers on bricolage theory —the improvisational use of available resources—as a lens for understanding incremental innovation, exnovation (retiring obsolete systems), and degrowth. His work examines spatial dimensions of crises (e.g., Fukushima), managerial disobedience, and the philosophical roots of entrepreneurship through Deleuzian frameworks. Recent publications integrate generative AI tools with collective bricolage, while his exploration of "creative preservation" offers novel pathways for sustainability-oriented innovation. He consistently connects micro-level organizational practices to macro-level societal challenges like economic transitions and climate resilience. His publication trajectory reveals three dominant thematic clusters: (1) theoretical extensions of bricolage to digital contexts and AI, (2) degrowth-exnovation frameworks challenging traditional innovation paradigms, and (3) spatial-phenomenological analyses of crisis response. These threads converge in his investigation of how organizations navigate uncertainty through resourceful adaptation rather than disruptive novelty. No formal scientific awards or major fellowships are documented in available sources, though his conceptual contributions to bricolage theory have significantly influenced organizational studies literature. While specific advisees aren't listed, his departmental role involves mentoring students in innovation management and organizational theory. His research implications extend to corporate sustainability practices and crisis management protocols, though no active grant funding is specified in current profiles. The absence of dedicated lab information suggests his work operates through theoretical development and case-based analysis rather than experimental facilities.
