MATERIALS ENGINEERING AREA


The Materials Engineering Area, AIM, results from the explicit desire of its members to essentially improve their working conditions: with this they aim to have a direct impact and with better quality indices on the human resources training process at its two levels, on the generation and application of novel knowledge through relevant and relevant research work, and to improve the impact of the Area , which corresponds to its collegiate activity, in the collective academic purposes and those marked in the Development Plan of the Department of Materials.

These training results resulted in the AIM receiving the Research Area award in 2009 in the same year of its creation.

General objectives

 

Generate novel and applicable knowledge through the conduct of research in the sciences and engineering of materials, fundamentally considering environmental sustainability and human resources training.


Object of study


Materials in their different characters, advanced, new and emerging, nanomaterials and functional gradient materials, experimental and numerical theoretical methods to develop them and techniques for their synthesis, characterization and prevention of their degradation.

 

Specific objectives


1.- Synthesize and characterize functional and structural materials.

2.- Develop theoretical and experimental research associated with the processing of new, advanced and emerging materials through novel technologies.

3.- Optimize and simulate the different methods of material processing using and creating numerical solutions.

4.- Model molecular, nanostructured, composite and functional materials from the point of view of computational quantum chemistry.

5.- Physically, chemically and mechanically characterize manufactured materials.

6.- Develop your own technologies for the processing and protection of materials.

7.- Evaluate material degradation methods and establish material protection technologies.

8.- Promote both internal and external academic participation and discussion, in the topics of study, maintaining the emphasis on inter-linking teaching and research.

9.- Actively participate in compliance with the Department of Materials Development Plan.

 


Organizational structure

Associative Research Program (PIA)

 

The organizational structure is based on the Head of the Area, by Dr. Gerardo Vázquez Huerta and different administrative academic coordinations, such as:

- Dr. María Guadalupe Montes de Oca Yemha, Academic Coordination: Organization of collective and systematic discussion activities of the Area.

- Dr. Silvia Corona Avendaño, Linking Coordination: Establish, promote and consolidate public relations of the Area.

- Dr. Jorge Iván Aldana González, Laboratory Coordination: Preserve and consolidate experimental and laboratory infrastructure.

- Dr. María Elizabeth Refugio García, Mobility Coordination: Search for mobility opportunities and external financing.

Research products


The Material Engineering Area is the result of the explicit desire on the part of members to improve their working conditions to directly and with better quality indices in the human resources training process at both levels, to generate and apply novel knowledge through relevant and relevant research work, and to achieve greater impact on collective academic purposes and those marked in the Development Plan of the Department of Materials.

Prizes won


The Materials Engineering Area has won the UAMA Academic Council's Research AREA AWARD in the following years: 2019, 2017, 2015, 2013, 2011 and 2009.
