I hold a Ph.D. (2013) and a master’s degree (2009) in Materials Science and Engineering from UNAM, where I was awarded honors for my doctoral research. My undergraduate studies in Mechatronics Engineering at ITESM (2005) were distinguished by the highest GPA of my class. My research focuses on the fabrication and characterization of nanostructured materials, with an emphasis on optimizing thin-film deposition techniques, including magnetron sputtering and aerosol-assisted chemical vapor deposition. Since joining UNAM’s Institute of Physics in 2015, I have played a key role in consolidating the Silicon Photonics Laboratory, where we have developed advanced instrumentation tailored to the study of optoelectronic materials. My current projects explore the development of transparent semiconducting oxides and electroluminescent devices, among other applications in condensed matter physics. I have mentored multiple graduate students and have an active role in academic training, having taught over 80 courses at both undergraduate and graduate levels. My contributions include over 39 publications in high-impact, peer-reviewed journals. Additionally, I actively engage in scientific outreach and administration, currently serving as Head of the Condensed Matter Department at the Institute of Physics, UNAM. My work has been recognized through several distinctions, including the Investigador Nacional Nivel II designation by Mexico’s National System of Researchers (SNI), and I am a memb
