Pérez-Valverde, Maritza Iveth

I am a materials science researcher specializing in ceramic materials, bioceramics, and dielectric monoatomic films. I am an expert in the structural characterization of materials using X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy including *ex-situ* and *in-situ* analyses, as well as measurements under extreme temperature conditions. I possess extensive experience in the optical, morphological, and electrical characterization of materials. My background includes the synthesis of powdered materials via sol-gel, mechanical milling, ultrasonication, and solid-state methods. Furthermore, I have extensive experience in thin-film deposition using Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) and spin coating techniques utilized during my 2020 2024 postdoctoral tenure. I am a Level 1 member of the National System of Researchers (SNI), a distinction awarded in 2026. In addition to my research activities, I serve as a lecturer at the undergraduate level, teaching fundamental physics, mathematics, and thermodynamics to students across various engineering disciplines. I also teach in the Applied Sciences graduate program at UASLP, covering subjects such as thermodynamics with a focus on structural transitions analyzed via phase diagrams.

No overview

Ph.D. in Science (specializing in Materials Science). In the academic field, I have taught undergraduate courses in the Nanotechnology and Engineering Physics programs. I have also participated in preparatory and admission courses for master s programs, reflecting my commitment to high-quality education at various levels. Currently, I serve as a mentor for undergraduate and graduate students at Tecnológico de Monterrey, supporting their academic and professional development. Additionally, I have participated as a member of thesis defense committees at both undergraduate and graduate levels. I have a strong ability to research novel materials and apply the scientific method in hypothesis validation. I have published eleven scientific articles and have five more in progress. Furthermore, I possess proven leadership skills and the ability to manage multiple tasks effectively in academic and research settings. During my academic career, I completed a research stay at the University of Granada, Spain, where I established valuable collaborations that remain active to this day. This experience strengthened my ties with the international scientific community and significantly broadened my perspective in the field. I have developed both international and national collaborations with prestigious institutions, including SLAC-Stanford (USA), IACT-UGR (Spain), IMPMC Sorbonne Université (France), IFUAP-BUAP, IFUNAM, CNyN-UNAM, CIACyT-UASLP, IICO-UASLP, and IIT-UACJ.
