KNIME Distinguished Educators

Angle PatternAngle PatternPanel BGPanel BG

The Distinguished Educator Award recognizes exceptional education experts and their continued support of KNIME and low-code tools in teaching. Awardees can pick how they’re recognized based on what fits best with their work: travel support for attending conferences or training, research and workflow support by KNIME data scientists, or a course development grant to collaborate on the design and implementation of new courses.

Congratulations to all our Distinguished Educators

Francisco Villarroel Ordenes

Full Professor of Marketing, Alma Mater Studiorum – Università di Bologna

Prof. Villarroel is an expert in marketing analytics and has been a pivotal figure in the deeper integration of machine learning and marketing analytics (not only in the KNIME realm) in the last couple of years. His work with KNIME Analytics Platform has not only enhanced the academic realm, but also has provided practical solutions for marketing professionals. He has taught marketing analytics and text processing at several universities throughout his career; as regular courses but also as an invited speaker at various summer schools all over the world.
 
Together with a team at KNIME, he developed a live repository for ML in marketing analytics on the KNIME Hub with reusable solutions for customer churn, sentiment analysis, automated image analysis, SEO & CX. An extensive write-up of this project has been published in a paper in the Journal of Business Research.
