In 2001, he obtained his PhD in Materials and Structures from the École Nationale des Ponts et Chaussées in Paris, France. Since 2002, he has been working at CIMAV. He has participated in several basic and applied research projects focused on modeling and simulating processes and phenomena, such as the mechanical behavior of materials and structures. He is currently the head of the Metallurgy and Structural Integrity Department at CIMAV. Within the MPOD group, Dr. Díaz is responsible for coordinating the group’s activities and supervising Felipe Trejo’s PhD thesis, which mainly aims to predict the properties of textured polycrystals.
Rubén is a research technician at the Advanced Materials Research Center (Centro de Investigación en Materiales Avanzados S.C.). He teaches classes and workshops on numerical methods, programming, and LaTex. His work at MPOD includes restructuring data capture tools and updating database routines.
Technical Lead of the High-Performance Computing Cluster at the Center for Research in Advanced Materials (CIMAV), currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Data Science at the Research and Innovation Center in Information and Communication Technologies (INFOTEC). He also serves as administrator and developer of the MPOD platform, contributing to the advancement of materials data infrastructure and scientific computing.
A PhD student at the Advanced Materials Research Center, he is working on implementing semi-automated data capture for MPOD, as well as incorporating physical property calculations for polycrystals.
Maria is a professor in the Faculty of Chemistry at UACH. She teaches Electricity and Magnetism, and Quantum Chemistry. Her work in MPOD includes the early stages of incorporating Group Theory to establish the relationship between properties and structure. She is focused, with Luis, Ruth and Roberto, on writing a properties dictionary and glossary for the website.
Bachelor’s graduate in Physics from the University of Sonora, he completed a Master’s degree in Nanosciences and Nanotechnology at the Potosi Institute of Scientific and Technological Research (IPICyT), followed by a Ph.D. in Sciences with a specialization in Photonics at the Optical Communication Research Institute of the Autonomous University of San Luis Potosí. He also carried out a postdoctoral fellowship at the Physics Research Department of UNISON. He is a National Researcher Level 1. Full-time professor since January 2013. He is a member of the Academic Body of Computational Chemistry and holds a desirable profile recognition by PRODEP. He has contributed to the publication of 16 research articles in the fields of physics and materials science and has served as a reviewer for journals of the Optical Society of America such as The Journal of Optics and Optics Express, among others. He has also been part of OpenAI’s Red Team for the evaluation of advanced ChatGPT models in scientific topics. In the MPOD project, he contributes to the implementation of Large Language Models (LLMs) for data extraction from documents.
Chemistry graduate from Universidad Autónoma de Chihuahua working in the implementation and adaptation of semi automatic data capture for MPOD with Dr. Luis, Dr. María Elena, Dr. Nápoles and chemistry graduate Roberto Vela 🕯️.
Roberto is a student and a Chemistry graduate from the Faculty of Chemical Sciences at Universidad Autónoma de Chihuahua. His work in MPOD involves the implementation and adaptation of semi-automatic data capture for new material properties. He is also part of the AI development subgroup at UACH, led by Dr. Nápoles, working on adaptations for the MPOD project. Along with Dr, Luis, Dr. Elena, and Ruth, they are focused on writing a properties dictionary and glossary for the website.
