Semblanza Académica

Mario is an associate professor at the Metropolitan Autonomous University, Physics Department.
He holds a postdoc from the University of California San Diego, and a PhD from the Imperial College London. Mario has a master degree in Physics from the National Autonomous University, and a degree in Physics from the Metropolitan Autonomous University.
His research lines are: active matter, collective behavior, non-equilibrium statistical physics, and continuum mechanics, both fluids and solids. He is the recipient of an ORSAS (Overseas student awards scheme) scholarship given by the British Government, as well as the Leon Lederman Award (first place at a national physics undergraduate competition) given by the Hertel foundation.
Mario is always presenting at the March meeting organized by the American Physical Society. He has been honored as an invited speaker to international conferences such as the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics, 2023 held in Portland; and at the ACS Colloid and Science Surface Symposium 2024 in Seattle.
International Research stays at the University of California San Diego (2024), California Institute of Technology (2018), Princeton University, Santa Clara University, Brigham Young University (2016, 2015) are always part of his timetable. He won a CONAHCYT (National Council of Humanities, Science and Technology) grant back in 2016 to perform research on active matter. He is member of the National Researchers Systems level 1, and his research is mainly created with his students.

Mario always welcomes very motivated students to perform cutting edge research on active matter. Apart from science, He is very involved in attacking social problems, like corruption, inequality, racism, and climate change. ***
