Biography
Education
Guillermo Pineda-Villavicencio became a Fellow of AdvancedHE in 2021; AdvancedHE is a member-led, sector-owned charity that aims to improve higher education for staff, students, and society across the world. Besides, he completed a Graduate Certificate in Education (Tertiary Teaching) in 2015 and PhD in Mathematics in 2009, both at Federation University Australia. In 2002 he received a Bachelor degree in Computer Science with first class honours from the University of Oriente (Cuba).
Work experience
Guillermo joined Deakin University as a senior lecturer in computer science and mathematics in June 2019. Before that, between July 2013 and June 2019 he was a lecturer and then senior lecturer in mathematics at Federation University.
Between February and July 2013, Guillermo Pineda-Villavicencio was a postdoctoral fellow at Ben Gurion University of the Negev, under Prof Eran Nevo and Prof Mikhail Klinand. And between January 2009 and February 2013 he was a postdoctoral fellow under Prof John Yearwood and a lecturer (assistant professor equivalent) in mathematics at Federation University.
Between 2002 and 2003 Guillermo worked as a mathematics lecturer at the University of Information Sciences (Cuba). And from September 2003 to July 2008 I was a lecturer (assistant professor equivalent) in mathematics at the University of Oriente (Cuba).
