Formación de Capital Humano


On the base of my academic and industry experience has equipped me to work extensively with materials, industrial systems, oxide nanomaterials, and nanoparticles. This knowledge has been pivotal in developing material properties tailored for green energy and environmental applications. As such, my research interests lie in the design, fabrication, characterization, and performance analysis of functional materials. Drawing from my experience, I have a keen interest in the detailed characterization of these materials and in devising new evaluation methodologies.
I believe I can leverage my technical expertise, experience, and unique background to address critical questions in the realm of material science and engineering. I am eager to impart my knowledge to students and am always open to national and international collaborations. Working collaboratively to achieve significant milestones and address societal challenges is one of my primary objectives.

In addition to my research endeavors, I have a keen interest in teaching the following courses:
Materials Engineering: This course delves into the multifaceted applications of ceramic materials. It is structured to prompt students to consider material selection within the context of property and design requirements. The course is divided into sections that introduce modern ceramics, discuss atomic bonding and elements, explore the behavior of ceramics, and detail fabrication processes. I recommend the textbook ‘Modern Ceramic Engineering: Properties, Processing, and Use in Design’ (4th edition) by D. Richerson and W. Lee.

Physical Metallurgy: This course provides an understanding of the relationship between the structure of materials and their properties, with a focus on metals. Topics such as alloy design, microstructural engineering, and the properties of metals will be covered. For this course, I suggest the textbooks ‘Physical Metallurgy Principles’ by Reza Abbaschian, Lara Abbaschian, and Reed-Hill, Robert E., as well as ‘Introduction to Physical Metallurgy’ by Avner.

Characterizations: This hands-on course will equip students with skills in characterization techniques like XRD, NDT, optical spectroscopy, SEM, and TEM. It's designed to enable students to competently analyze material characterizations. The "Handbook of Materials Characterization" by Surender Kumar Sharma and the Handbooks of ASM, Volume 10 would serve as excellent reference materials.

Ultimately, my academic aspirations encompass teaching, securing research funding, hosting workshops, publishing scholarly papers, and fostering a network of collaborators.


Difusión y Transferencia


The discovery and development of our high-efficiency nanocomposite material, tailored for both photocatalysis and electrocatalysis, hold transformative potential for the solar energy industry. Recognizing its capacity for technology transfer, especially in addressing industry demands and water pollutants, we've formulated a strategic dissemination and transfer plan to ensure its application is both effective and cost-efficient.

A primary goal is the Knowledge Transfer to Industry. Preliminary investigations, alongside dialogues with both national and international collaborators—including engagement with other expert teams—have provided insights into optimal conditions and more advanced applications. I've already begun engaging with industry manufacturers to discuss potential licensing opportunities and the scaling up of this novel technology. From a dissemination perspective, I've identified prominent journals and conferences in the fields of materials science and energy as platforms to publicize our research findings.

In the realm of education, I'm keen to partner with leading academic teams from various universities, especially within engineering departments. Integrating our findings into undergraduate and postgraduate programs can greatly benefit academic curricula. Collaborating with these established institutions will positively influence our results, ensuring our findings' relevance and adaptability across varied global conditions.
