Profile
Summary: After graduation of Masters in 1986 started my career as teacher and subsequently garnering PhD in 1998 now raised to Teacher/Researcher/Administrator. In pursuit of achieving laurels and vying with novel ideas presently working on novel micro and nanostructured materials for renewable and biomedical applications. In last 15 years, I’ve established various new program, courses, won prestigious projects from different funding agencies and industries. Visited more than 25 countries as Director for International Relations (signed 80 MoU`s) and to deliver plenary/invited talks and lectures, attaining global vision on education and administration. Published more than 145 papers in international peer reviewed journals and served as guest editor for about 10 special issues. Serving as editorial board member and peer reviewer for various reputed international journals.
Here in Mexico, I started as an investigator in Solar-Hydrogen Fuel cell group in UNAM, Temixco in Mexico and Mexican Petroleum Research center. Later, I joined as a Research Professor and Co-ordinator in the Materials Science group of Physics department in ITESM, Monterey, Mexico. Presently, I am the Professor and Head of ReBIOM group in Electronics and Solid State Section of Electrical Engineering Department at CINVESTAV-IPN, Mexico. My research interest includes synthesis and characterization of CIGS, CZTS, ZnO, Carbon nanotubes, Graphene for solar cell applications. I am also involved in synthesis of BiVO4, TiO2, SPIONS and Core-shell nanoparticles for photocatalytic and biomedical applications.
Research Interest: Synthesis and Characterization of CIGS materials, CZTS, CdS, ZnO, AZO, Mo, carbon nanotubes for manufacturing solar cells based on CIGS and CZTS, Synthesis and Characterization of nanostructures Au-FeO (core-shell) for biomedical applications, synthesis and characterization of nanostructured materials for catalysis, BiVO4 and TiO2.
