Profile

Professor Enrique Díaz-Herrera is a doctor in Natural Sciences at the Free University of Berlin, professor at the Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana Iztapalapa Campus in the Basic Sciences and Engineering Division, and is developing his work within the Department of Physics.

His interest is focused on numerical molecular thermodynamics, which is understanding the thermodynamic and structural properties of stable phases and interfaces of fluids based on molecular interactions utilizing computational methodologies.

In parallel, he seeks to train high-level personnel in this field, improve the teaching of the disciplines that intervene in them, and promote the application of the generated knowledge.

The investigation of his working group focuses on the use of molecular simulations to study the structural and thermodynamic properties of phases and interfaces of molecular systems of interest in soft matter.
