Lozano-Sánchez, Luis Marcelo

Chemical Engineer | Expert in Nanosciences and Materials I am a dedicated and driven professional with a strong background in Chemical Engineering, Nanosciences, and Materials. Born in León, Gto., Mexico, on September 24, 1987, I graduated with a degree in Chemical Engineering from the University of Guanajuato in June 2010. Shortly after completing my undergraduate studies, I joined the Institute for Scientific and Technological Research of San Luis Potosí (IPICYT) to participate in a summer research program, where I first delved into the field of nanomaterials. This experience led to my thesis project, which I continued developing over the next year. In August 2011, I embarked on a Master's degree in Nanosciences and Materials at IPICYT, during which I had the privilege of conducting research in South Korea, focusing on nanoparticle synthesis. I successfully defended my thesis in August 2013, the same week I began my Ph.D. in Engineering Sciences at Tecnológico de Monterrey. Throughout my doctoral studies, I gained invaluable experience in technology development and collaborated with industry partners. I also had the opportunity to expand my expertise through international research stays in Spain and the United States, including a micro- and nano-manufacturing workshop at MIT. I completed my Ph.D. in 2017 and immediately transitioned into a role as a Project Specialist at Tecnológico de Monterrey, later becoming a Postdoctoral Researcher. As a Postdoctoral Researcher, I have worked on cutting-edge projects related to high-thermal conductivity polymers at MIT. My work has allowed me to present my findings at prestigious international conferences, such as the Materials Research Society (MRS) meetings in Boston (2018 and 2019), and to participate in entrepreneurial initiatives like the I-Corps program, which fosters startup creation. I have also successfully led national and international projects, raising more than 1.2M USD in funding to support these innovative endeavors focused on developing smart materials. I am passionate about leveraging my expertise in nanotechnology and materials science to drive innovation and contribute to advancements in both academic and industrial settings.
