Ph.D. Evaluation (jury member)

Francisco Medina has participated as a member of a Ph.D. Dissertation Jury 29 times, most of them at Spanish Universities, but he has also contributed to the evaluation of Ph.D. work at Morocco, Portugal and Ukraine.

Teaching Innovation.

Francisco Medina has created several new courses along his career as teacher of Electromagnetism and related disciplines in the Physics Faculty at University of Seville (Seville, Spain). Of particular interest is the course called "Técnicas Experimentales en Electrodinámica" ("Experimental Techniques in Electrodynamics"). This course is based on laboratory experiences in the field of Electromagnetism, some of which are original. The course was developed by F. Medina, R.R. Boix and A.T. Pérez-Izquierdo (they are all members of the Dept. of Electronics and Electromagnetism, University of Seville, Spain).

He has also participated in two projects for "Educational Innovation" funded by the University of Seville.
