Profile

Professor Arturo Robledo Martínez graduated cum Laude at the Instituto Politécnico Nacional (IPN), Mexico City, with a B. Eng. (EE) degree. In 1980 he obtained an M. Sc. (Physics) degree from the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM), also in Mexico City. From 1979 to 1981, he participated in a research project on gas discharge physics at the Institute of Electrical Research, Cuernavaca, Mexico. In 1986 he obtained a Ph. D. degree from the University of Wales Institute of Science and Technology, Cardiff, UK.

Since 1986 he has been lecturing at the Basic Science department of the UAM, Mexico City, where he is now a tenured professor. He has taught 30 different courses at the undergraduate and postgraduate levels and has directed 42 BSc., two MSc. and one Ph. D. theses.

His main research areas are dense plasma physics, lightning discharges, pulsed power, and plasma applications.

His publications include 47 papers in scientific journals and 74 congress memories on the subjects of gas discharges and plasma physics. His work has received 420 citations.

Dr. Robledo is a life member of the American Physical Society and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers.

In 1988 he was awarded the Science, Education, and Technology Division Premium by The Institution of Electrical Engineers, London, UK.
