Difusión y Transferencia


Since January 2017, I am the Deputy Director of the technology transfer project Fondef IdeA Project ID16I10214 "Sensor for Chemical Reactions Based on NV-centers in Diamond". This project attempts to develop high-sensitivity sensors for electrochemical reactions in the national mining industry.

I am an Associate Researcher in the Fondef IdeA Project ID16I10001 "Resistivity on nanometric Copper wires", directed by Dr. Raul Muñoz at Universidad de Chile. We developped a novel quantum mechanical model that accurately represents experimental measurements on the resistivity of thin metallic films and wires, particularly on Copper. The model has direct practical applications in the design of microelectronic components.

I am an Associated Editor of the Revista Mexicana de Física since 2017
