She is a full-time research-professor at Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo León at the Civil Engineering Faculty in the research group Alternative Materials for Engineering in Monterrey city in México. She belongs to the National System of Researchers in Mexico (SNI-CONAHCYT) at level II. She is coordinator of the postgraduate programs of MsC and PhD in Construction Materials. Founder and Academic coordinator of a chemistry laboratory since 2014. Her research focuses on developing sustainable construction materials. She is working on the modification of conventional and alternative cementitious materials with nanostructured materials based on transition metal oxides and carbon nanostructures to understand how the addition of nanomaterials alters their microstructure, surface properties, durability, mechanical and thermal properties to develop new properties like self-disinfecting to avoid biodeterioration, hydrophobicity, heat storage, super thermal insulation as well as transparent thin films for smart windows to improve the energy efficiency of building. She also has over 12 years of experience teaching undergraduate and graduate civil engineering courses in the areas of chemistry, materials science and engineering, smart materials and nanotechnology.
