He is a National Researcher, Tier I, by the National System of Researchers (SNII), of the Secretariat of Science, Humanities, Technology and Innovation (Secihti). He was an assistant and doctoral researcher at the Communication and Information Research Center (CINCO) under Dr. José Carlos Lozano Rendón (2008-2011) and Dr. Francisco Javier Martínez Garza (2011-2015). He has been part of work teams with researchers from: the Summer Institute of Linguistics; the Institute of Philological Research-UNAM; the National Pedagogical University (UPN); the University of Sonora (UNISON); the CITRIS Policy Lab at the University of California, Berkeley; the University of California at Davis and the University of Guadalajara through the project: Humanizing deportation; the Tampere Peace Research Institute (TAPRI) and the Tampere Research Group for Cultural and Political Sociology (TCuPS), of the University of Tampere, in which he did research stays with Professor Pertti Alasuutari (2012-2013); and the Universidad Regiomontana (U-ERRE). He is a vice-chair of the Media Education Research (MER) section of the International Association for Media and Communication Research (IAMCR). He has participated in projects financed by FORDECYT-PRONACES, UCMexus-CONACYT, and Basic and Border Science-CONACYT. He has published several research articles and a book review in indexed journals of national and international prestige (Q1 & Q2), an edited book and three book chapters (two of them for books published by the Routledge publishing house). The topics covered by these publications gravitate toward different dimensions of media & cultural studies: exposure to audiovisual content; the domestication of media content; the components of the received message; the interaction between the message and the receiver; and the use of media, their content and digital devices for learning. To a lesser extent, the publications also address the cultural industries in their relationship with the ideological content they broadcast, to later review it with the audience.
