Ulloa-Castillo, Nicolás Antonio

Nicolás Ulloa, PhD, is currently an Adjunct Researcher of School of Engineering and Sciences at the Tecnológico de Monterrey, Campus Monterrey. He received his Ph. D. in Electrical Engineering (Photonics and Optoelectronic Devices) from the Universidad Autónoma de San Luis Potosí in 2015. He completed two postdoctoral research stays, the first one at Paul-Drude-Institut für Festkörperelektronik (PDI) (2016) in Berlin, Germany; and the second one at Tecnológico de Monterrey (2017), Campus Monterrey. Both experiences were relevant for the strengthening of knowledge in the solid-state physics and in general in the field of Materials Science. Since 2018, he has been involved in teaching/tutoring and research activities at Tecnológico de Monterrey. His expertise and knowledge acquired in the field of Materials Science has enabled him to participate actively in research projects with industry (Siemens), investigating the development of metal-based composites materials through surface modifications; as well as for institutional research projects by investigating metallic (superalloys), semiconductors and composite materials. In the same way, his academic background has allowed him to participate in the formation of human resources through Lectures for undergraduate engineering students in the department of Mechanical Engineering and Advanced Materials; as well as for Master of Science students in both, Nanotechnology and Manufacturing Systems programs.
