Profile
Bachelor in Chemical Engineering for Universidad Autonoma de Tlaxcala (2004) and Master degree in Chemical Engineering at Universidad Michoacana de San Nicolas de Hidalgo, in Morelia Mex. With the thesis “Synthesis of multiwall carbon nanotubes from botanical carbon feed stokes” (2009).
Doctoral Degree in Energy Engineering (PV area) at the Renewable Energies Institute from Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico my doctoral research was focused on the development of new matrices based on the functionalization of MWCNT with TiO2 nanoparticles and sensitization with semiconductor chalcogenides for its application as photoelectrodes in SC-SSC’s (2014)
As independent researcher work in environmental photocatalys science and hybrid organic-inorganic solar cells (Sb2S3)
Research Activity
Research on material science applied tosynthesis and characterization of materials for photocatalysis, storage and conversion of energy, development of hybrid sensitized and HTM free Perovskite solar cells.
