Profile

Professor Julia Aguilar Pliego is originally from Mexico City, where she studied the Bachelor at the Faculty of Chemistry at the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM). Her undergraduate thesis was about synthetic zeolites and subsequently held at the Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana (UAM) Iztapalapa Campus within the Chemistry Department the Master's Degree in Chemistry (catalysis) following with the theme of Zeolites in the thesis to obtain the corresponding degree.

In 1992 she began doctoral studies at the Autonomous University of Madrid, at the Institute of Catalysis and Petrochemical of the Superior Council of Scientific Investigations of Spain (ICP-CSIC). And because his adviser Dr. Francisco Melo moved to the Institute of Chemical Technology of Valencia (ITQ), Spain, she had to migrate to that city and that institute, one of the five best research institutes in Europe.

In 1996 she returned with the degree of Ph.D. in Chemical Sciences, reincorporating her teaching, research, and dissemination tasks.

Professor Julia Aguilar is currently engaged in research with micro / mesoporous synthesis materials, characterization, and evaluation of fine chemical reactions, in biomass systems.

She is a member of SNI having a Level II. She has an operating patent in conjunction with the Alpha Group and more than 40 publications in indexed international journals. She was president of the 2015-2017 Academy of Catalysis and Head of Applied Chemistry of 2007-20014.
