I hold a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering with a specialization in Photonics and Optoelectronics, and my research lies at the intersection of solid-state physics, materials science, and nanotechnology. I study fundamental phenomena such as ferroelectricity, piezoelectricity, light¿matter interactions, and more recently, magnon transport, aiming to translate these insights into transformative applications in emerging technologies. My research combines optical, electronic, and structural characterization of organic, inorganic, and hybrid semiconductor materials, integrating them into innovative solutions, including: Optoelectronic devices, Energy harvesting and conversion systems, Flexible electronics, and Information storage platforms based on ferroelectric and spintronic phenomena.
Currently, I serve as Coordinator of the Center for Innovation in Digital Technologies at Tecnológico de Monterrey, where I lead R&D projects in collaboration with industry partners and research centers. My international experience includes a research stay at the Paul Drude Institut für Festkörperelektronik (Berlin) and collaborations with institutions such as UNAM and CIACyT-UASLP. Throughout my career, I have directed and contributed to funded projects on catalytic materials, nanocomposites, and nanofiber-based batteries. As a member of Mexico¿s National System of Researchers (SNI, Level I) and the National Laboratory for Additive and Digital Manufacturing (MADiT), I am committed to generating impactful knowledge, mentoring future researchers, and transforming fundamental physical phenomena into high-impact technologies that advance materials science and technological innovation.
