José Eduardo Aguilar Joo is a civil engineer specializing in structural engineering and materials science, with a strong focus on experimental characterization and the development of sustainable construction materials. He earned his Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering from the Universidad Autónoma de Chiapas (UNACH) and completed advanced studies through two master’s degrees: an M.Sc. in Educational Sciences with a concentration in Teaching and Research, and an M.Sc. in Materials and Renewable Energy Systems from the Universidad de Ciencias y Artes de Chiapas (UNICACH). He holds a Ph.D. in Materials and Renewable Energy Systems from UNICACH, where his research focused on the design, processing, and characterization of ceramic-based materials derived from clay matrices and agricultural residues rich in aluminosilicates, aimed at sustainable construction applications. His expertise includes advanced physicochemical and microstructural characterization techniques such as X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray fluorescence (XRF) for phase identification and chemical composition analysis. He has extensive experience in mechanical testing, particularly compressive strength evaluation of cementitious and ceramic materials, as well as comprehensive soil laboratory testing, including classification, compaction, and consistency limits. His work integrates microstructural analysis with macroscopic performance to optimize eco-efficient building materials.
