His scientific interests lie in the deposition of monometallic and bimetallic nanoparticles on reducible and non-reducible powder oxides; the synthesis of pure and doped metal oxides; the catalysis focused on exhaust gas reactions (CO oxidation, NO reduction, total oxidation), the production and purification of H 2 (water-gas shift reaction), preferential CO oxidation; the photocatalytic degradation of organic compounds and the photocatalytic production of hydrogen.
Currently he is the president for Mexican Catalysis Society (ACAT). He has been recognized twice by Elsevier for being the first author of one of the most cited articles in Chemical Engineering Journals, and by UNAM with the National University Award of Distinction for Young Scientist.
