Moisés G. Zarzoza Medina

I studied Physics at the Autonomous University of San Luis Potosí, Mexico, and graduated in 2021. Afterward, I moved to Mexico City to pursue my MSc in Science, specializing in Physics, at the Center for Research and Advanced Studies of the National Polytechnic Institute (CINVESTAV). Under the guidance of Dr. Jaime Santoyo Salazar, I developed a thesis titled «Green Functionalization and Physical Properties of Manganese Ferrite Nanoparticles (MnFe₂O₄) as a Function of Mn Concentration,» focusing on the synthesis and characterization of magnetic nanoparticles. During my undergraduate and graduate studies, I developed a strong interest in various characterization techniques, such as spectrum analysis (UV-Vis, FTIR, and XPS), diffraction (XRD), and small-scale visualization (TEM, SEM, AFM, and Brewster Angle Microscopy).

Recently, I joined the APNano group at the Instituto Regional de Investigación Científica Aplicada (IRICA) in Ciudad Real. As a doctoral student under the supervision of Dr. Peter S. Normile, I will work on a thesis investigating magnetic nanoassemblies, utilizing various tools at my disposal, primarily Sputtering for synthesis and a SQUID magnetometer for magnetic analysis.

I am currently a predoctoral student funded by a regional project sponsored by the European Regional Development Fund.
