About
me
I'm Dr. Juan-Carlos Durán. I'm a digital media scientist. I specialize in cyberpsychology and the study of human behavior in digital environments. I focus on digital technology’s ability to influence and persuade human perception and decision making. Among various subjects pertaining to human-digital interaction, I've written about the use of digital media to assist cognitive decline in older adults; the influence of narrative in digital environments and other topics.
Leadership. I'm a leader in start-up and corporate operations. I have broad business experience including leadership in media and communications; developing and improving management teams; improving operational and financial performance; and improving corporate growth strategies. I've been able to use strategic vision, leadership, communication, and organizational skills in order to achieve successful business goals.
I'm also an artist and use photography as a form of storytelling.
