Laboratory/Research experience, Technological Institute of Saltillo

• Design experimental method and characterization of porous materials made from glass waste.
• Collaborate and coordinate with faculty, staff scientists, and fellow graduate students across departments.
• Use of different characterization techniques: SEM analysis with (a) secondary electrons (topographic contrast) and (b) backscattered electrons (chemical contrast) of the sample, XRD (32-hour course) for structural study, rietveld refinement, FTIR analysis, Helium pycnometer for calculating density in different materials (organic and inorganic, etc.)
• Scientific dissemination presentations at national and international conferences (conferences in English)
• Writing and discussion of results from different techniques (DRX, SEM, FTIR).
