Awards
and Activities
1997 - Lifetime achievement award from the "Academia Mexicana de
Materiales" "Por su valiosa contribución al desarrollo de la
Ciencia de los Materiales en México."
1999 - UTEP - Award for
outstanding achievement in developing the University Seminar Program.
2004 - UTEP – Outstanding
Research Award
Research
Interests
My research projects focus on both the fundamental and applied aspects of
materials science as applied to petroleum catalysis, fuel cell electrodes,
organic/inorganic complex materials and biofuels. The main current
fundamental focus is on organic/complex materials that have led to novel
catalysts and pigments. MRTI has generated start-up companies that exploit
intellectual property developed by UTEP faculty and students. These
start-ups (Mayan Pigments Inc., Refinery Science Inc. and Energy Farms Inc.
have provided jobs and research investment for the El Paso region.
