My name is Armando Reyes Montero. I am an Associate Researcher at Instituto de Investigaciones en Materiales from the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México at Mexico City. Although my background is in Chemical Engineering, I dedicated my MSc. And Ph.D. studies to Material Science and Engineering.

My research subjects are related to the synthesis, processing and characterization (structural, microstructural and electrical) of different ceramic materials, specially “lead-free” based piezoelectric/ferroelectric inorganic systems.  Currently, in my lab we are focusing on reducing the sintering temperature of different electroceramic materials giving special attention to the processing stage of the material (milling process).  It is known that the better reported electrical properties of electroceramic materials are strongly associated with processing conditions which, in turn, determine their crystallographic and ceramic microstructure. The research has  been conducted in the Instituto de Investigaciones en Materiales with a wide participation of undergraduate students and in collaboration with different institutions: Instituto de Ciencia de Materiales de Madrid, Instituto de Cerámica y Vidrio, Universidad Complutense, and University of Groningen.

As the Mexican representative of the YCN I hope to expand the Mexican network with different colleagues  around the world and I express my availability for any scientific contact.

Looking forward to your participation!
