I am aresearch scientist on Bioelectrochemical Systems (BES).

I got a BS on Biotechnology Engineering, from the National Polytechnic Institute (Mexico), then I graduated as Doctor of Science (Biotechnology/Electrochemistry) at the Mexican Petroleum Institute, after a thesis on biocorrosion. I worked for two and a half years as Research Professor at the Autonomous University of Yucatan, where I kept specializing on bioelectrochemical systems, as well as on the application of electrochemical methods for industrial microbiology applications (e.g. real time monitoring of fermentation products). I worked later as Research Engineer at the National Polytechnic Institute of Toulouse, France, doing postdoctoral research on microbial electrolysis cells. Currently, I am a Research Scientist at VITO, Belgium, with main focus on microbial electrosynthesis, electrochemical methods (electrochemical impedance spectroscopy), and numerical modeling.

This website is an effort for sharing my work and that of students and collaborators, who have so valuably contributed to my professional and personal formation.
