- Profile
-
I joined the Multidisciplinary Engineering Education department as a University Teaching Associate in December 2022. However, I did my PhD degree in the Energy 2050 group from 2016-2020. While doing my PhD studies in Sheffield University I was involved as a GTA in the fluid labs running in the Diamond.
As the Academic Lead of the Fluid Mechanics Laboratory, I am committed to designing, delivering, and continually enhancing practical sessions based on valuable feedback from our students and colleagues. With a deep passion for the role of engineering in shaping society and protecting our planet, I draw upon my experience in both academia and industry—spanning Mexico and France since 2010. My work has focused on the intersection of engineering, sustainability, and societal impact. Through this lens, I aim to inspire students, sharing essential knowledge and enthusiasm for the fascinating field of fluid mechanics
