MY PASSIONS
RENEWABLE ENERGY
The energy future
I am a true fan of renewable energy. My passion was born when I started researching solar cell materials during my studies in Mexico, then I have been part of important research and engineering projects. I have experience in the design, implementation, and commissioning of photovoltaic plants and renewable energy microgrids.
SCIENCE AND RESEARCH
Love for knowledge
I love science and I firmly believe that the only way to achieve a real sustainable development is to research new processes and technologies around energy, agriculture, or genetics that allow us to improve people's quality of life and have economic growth without affecting the environment.
