César Fidel Sánchez Valdés was born in 1982 in Havana (Cuba) and obtained a bachelor's degree in Physics from the University of Havana (2006). He obtained his Materials Science PhD and master's degree from the Autonomous University of Barcelona (Spain, 2013 and 2010) and worked at the Institute of Materials Science of Barcelona (ICMAB) for 4 years. He has been working as a full-time Professor in the Physic and Mathematics Department at the Institute of Engineering and Technology, Autonomous University of Juarez (UACJ), since 2016. Since 2003, he has been interested in condensed matter physics and material technology, focusing on magnetic (magnetocaloric refrigerants, permanent magnets, and multiferroic stacks) and superconducting materials (coated conductors: BSCCO, YBCO). He has co-authored more than 80 articles and book chapters (1770 citations, h-index = 24). He has filed 4 patents (Mexico and the USA) and made many contributions to scientific congresses. He has supervised 1 postdoctoral researcher, and 1 PhD, 1 master's, and 5 bachelor's theses. He has received the Mexican National Researcher level 1 distinction by SNII-SECIHTI (2015-2026) and the level 2 distinction as a Chihuahua State Researcher (2025-2028). He has been the Principal Investigator of 2 national grants (in magnetocaloric refrigerants) and of 13 national projects. He has been a member of the evaluation committee for different agencies and a peer reviewer for several indexed journals.
