I am currently working on the study of mineralogy and crystallography at the micro and nanoscale. Applying to economic geology, especially in the field of ore deposits and hydrothermal systems. Particularly, studying bearing minerals of Critical Raw Materials (PGM, Au, REE, etc.) by means of applying several electron microscopy techniques like Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Focus Ion Beam (FIB), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) and Precession Electron Diffraction (PED). This research consisted in the implementation of a new methodology to characterize mineral phases down to the nanoscale.

I started my career as an assistant professor, lecturing on several classes, mostly metallogeny, field geology and mineralogy at the UNAM. In 2017, I obtained my PhD at the Polytechnic University of Catalonia (UPC) and the title of Gemologist from the University of Barcelona while teaching as an assistant professor. My PhD thesis was a metallogenetic model of an Andean tin-indium deposit, based on its mineralogy, geochemistry and isotopic characterization. In addition, I also conducted several collaborative research projects as principal and co-principal investigator, and supervised bachelor and master students.

Furthermore, I am a collaborator in the Horizon 2020 GEMex: Cooperation in Geothermal energy research Europe-Mexico for development of Enhanced Geothermal Systems and Superhot Geothermal Systems. Since 2017, I am co-editor of the Springer’s Geology series, and member of the NGO “Mineria para el desarrollo” (Mining for development)
