Ramses Armendariz

As a college professor, I aim for academic excellence and nothing less.

To me, the heart of academic excellence lies on the fragile duality between teaching and research, where they complement each other in order to develop the creativity and communication skills necessary to advance the frontier of knowledge and disseminate relevant results.
