Recognizing educators that shape the future of learning
Over 100 students nominated the teachers who changed the way they write, think about AI, and excel academically. Finding our winner was not easy. Celebrating them is.
Dr. Humberto Lopez Castillo
Born in Panama and trained as a pediatrician, Dr. López Castillo brought that same patient-first instinct to his classroom at UCF, where he challenges students to communicate with precision, harness AI thoughtfully, and never lose sight of the human element.
“Dr. Castillo taught me that scientific writing isn’t just about accuracy—it’s about advocacy.”
