María Teresa Ariza Gómez serves as a Full Professor in the Department of Telematics Engineering at the University of Seville, where she has established herself as a leading researcher in telecommunications and educational technology. Her academic career spans over two decades of continuous research contributions and teaching innovation. Professor Ariza Gómez's research interests focus on Telematics Engineering , with specialization in Distributed Systems , CORBA/MMS protocols , and IoT applications . She has pioneered the integration of gamification techniques into engineering education through tools like Kahoot, and developed virtual learning environments that transform programming instruction. Her work bridges theoretical telecommunications concepts with practical industrial applications, particularly in vehicle telematics and service station management systems. Her publication record shows consistent output with recent emphasis on educational technology (2015-2019), including software architecture for health applications and virtual laboratory environments. These works demonstrate her ability to adapt telecommunications expertise to solve problems in diverse domains from healthcare to automotive systems. Professor Ariza Gómez maintains active research through multiple projects including the TIC-154 research group (with continuous funding since 2006) and industry collaborations on Android applications and payment systems for gas stations. Her teaching methodology emphasizes project-based learning , virtual laboratories , and game-based educational resources that enhance student engagement in complex technical subjects. She leads research initiatives that combine telecommunications engineering with practical educational applications, creating innovative teaching tools that have been adopted across engineering disciplines at the University of Seville. Her work on virtualized computing environments has established a flexible, portable model that supports multidisciplinary teaching needs while maintaining technical rigor.
