Our main interest is colloidal science, in particular: rheology and microrheology of complex fluids, colloidal dynamics under confinement, anisotropic colloids, active colloids in confinement or trapped in optical tweezers, application of deep learning on soft matter, and more recently interaction of colloids with laser-induced external fields, including application of optical tweezers in colloids and in Biophysics.
We are also interested in the propagation of light in turbid media: biomedical applications of the recovery of optical properties, Monte Carlo methods for simulating light propagation, and the development of dynamic light scattering techniques for soft matter research.

ESG just started a sabbatical leave at the University of San Diego @ Ryan McGorty's lab.
Project recently accepted to be funded by Secihti: La manipulación óptica en sistemas coloidales: determinación directa del potencial de interacción y transición controlada al no equilibrio.
IRES-NSF project is now closed. We had the opportunity to share experiences with 9 great students from San Diego: Pablo, Genaro, Gerardo, Brittany, RJ, Abner, Eliam, Sofia and Macelia. We will miss u!!
Current students working in the lab:
Ivany del Carmen Romero (Posdoc collaborator)
Norma Palmero (PhD student)
Christian Imanol (Master student)
Sarahí Becerra (Master student)
Luis Palacios Razo (Master student)
Recently accepted papers:
Dynamical equivalence for the cageing-release colloidal problem
