- I am interested in science which I am fascinated to find an explanation and possible alternative resource to use in our society. I am from Yucatan, Mexico where I studied chemical engineering at University Autonomous of Yucatan. During my undergraduate studies, I participated in a project of biomass extraction from Jatropha Curcas, an organic matter used for anaerobic processes. Later one my graduation thesis was about a flame retardant additive based on ammonium polyphosphate, used in fabrics to protect personnel from fires in the workplace. My research interest is on developing new and efficient organic semiconductor material which can be a key point on the device’s component configuration since they allow ease of structural modification.
