As part of the ongoing collaboration between Professors Oscar Mauricio Caicedo from the University of Cauca and Nelson Luis Saldanha da Fonseca from the University of Campinas, Ángela Isabel Becerra Muñoz will be taking courses at the Brazilian university from February 24 to July 2.

Ángela Isabel Becerra Muñoz, an eighth-semester student of Electronic Engineering and Telecommunications and a member of the COMSOCAUCA research group, is participating in an academic exchange program in Campinas, Brazil, from February 24 to July 12.

This academic mobility initiative takes place within the framework of the ongoing collaboration between Professors Oscar Mauricio Caicedo (University of Cauca) and Nelson Luis Saldanha da Fonseca (University of Campinas).

Becerra Muñoz is the first undergraduate student from the Faculty of Electronic Engineering and Telecommunications at the University of Cauca to participate in this exchange under the collaboration between the two professors. During her academic stay, she will take courses such as Introduction to Artificial Intelligence, Introduction to Parallel Programming, Portuguese, and Research Project. Thanks to the latter course, she will receive a scientific initiation scholarship.

Regarding the collaboration between Professors Oscar Caicedo and Nelson Fonseca, it is worth highlighting that it began within the context of a dual-degree agreement at the doctoral level between the University of Campinas (Unicamp) and the University of Cauca (Unicauca). Under this agreement, Felipe Estrada became the first graduate to receive a Ph.D. in Telematics Engineering from Unicauca and a Ph.D. in Computer Science from Unicamp.

Likewise, Edwin Ferney Castillo, a Ph.D. student in Telematics Engineering, is currently undergoing the same process to obtain both degrees.

Within the framework of the Unicamp – Unicauca academic mobility agreement, several master's and Ph.D. students have completed research internships. Among them are Ana Montoya (Master's in Telematics Engineering), Robinson Narváez, and Angélica Serna (Master's students in Telematics Engineering).
