Alberto Díaz Díaz

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.

José Manuel Napoles

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.
