Currently our research group works on the development of polymers of sustainable origin. We're proposing pathways for the conversion of oils into polyols and later into flexible polyurethanes that are biocompatible for biomedical applications. Throughout the synthesis pathway, we perform characterizations such as RAMAN-FTIR, FEG-SEM, XPS, etc. that help us understand the reaction mechanisms.
I am currently a Senior Lecturer in Materials Science at the Polytechnic University of Juventino Rosas, Guanajuato, Mexico. My research focuses on utilizing advanced spectroscopic techniques to investigate and understand the chemical phenomena occurring on material surfaces.
My academic journey began with a Bachelor's and later a Master's degree in Chemical Engineering from the Technological Institute of Celaya, an institution I hold in the highest regard for its exceptional education and impact on my career. I then pursued a PhD at CINVESTAV-Querétaro, widely recognized as one of Mexico's premier research centers for materials science.
In addition to my technical background, I have cultivated a strong interest in project management. To further this interest, I completed a Master's degree in Administration followed by a Doctorate in Business Administration and Management. Complementing this, I have acquired specialized knowledge in accounting, tax regulations, and even ventured into legal studies, earning a Bachelor's degree in Law.
This interdisciplinary approach enables me to merge my expertise in materials science with strategic and legal perspectives, fostering innovative solutions and comprehensive approaches to research and teaching.
