Profile

Dr. Rafael Escarela Pérez was born in Mexico City in 1969. In 1992, he earned a degree in Electrical Engineering, with a specialization in Power Systems, from the Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana, Azcapotzalco Campus. In 1993, he completed a Diploma in Electrical Machines at the same institution. That same year, he began his graduate studies at Imperial College, University of London, where he earned his PhD in September 1996.

In October 1996, he joined the Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana as a full-time faculty member, where he currently serves as Professor. He holds Level 2 membership in the National System of Researchers (SNII) for the period 2010–2028. Previously, he held Level 1 membership from 2002 to 2009 and Candidate status from 1997 to 2001. From December 2003 through 2024, he also held the Desirable Profile recognition awarded by the Program for the Professional Development of Faculty Members (PRODEP) of the Ministry of Public Education.

His academic output includes 97 articles in journals indexed in the Journal Citation Reports (JCR) of the Institute for Scientific Information (Thomson Reuters), which the SNII considers for admission and continued membership. In addition, he has published 18 articles in rigorously peer-reviewed journals, two discussion papers, two outreach articles, one book chapter, and more than 100 contributions in proceedings of national and international conferences. He holds the distinction of Senior Member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). Based on his editorial record, editors of several indexed scientific journals regularly invite him to serve as a peer reviewer. He has led research projects funded by external sources and by the Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana.

In teaching and human resource development at the Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana, the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), and the National Polytechnic Institute (IPN), he has taught 26 undergraduate courses and 14 graduate-level courses on multiple occasions. He has supervised 43 Terminal and Integrative Projects, 23 master’s theses, and six doctoral dissertations. The Institute of Electrical Research recognized two of the terminal projects under his supervision at the XXII National Thesis Competition.

At the Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana, Azcapotzalco Campus, his academic leadership and administrative service include the following roles: Full Member of the Evaluation Committee in the Area of Engineering; Member of the Graduate Studies Committee of the Master’s Program in Computer Science; Full Academic Staff Representative of the Department of Energy to the Divisional Council of the Division of Basic Sciences and Engineering; Head of the Energy and Electromagnetism Area of the Department of Energy; Full Academic Staff Representative to the Academic Council; Member of the Graduate Studies Committee of the Master’s and Doctoral Programs in Structural Engineering; Divisional Coordinator of the Master’s Program in Electromagnetic Engineering Sciences; Head of the Department of Energy; Coordinator of Innovation and Educational Technologies; and Director of the Division of Basic Sciences and Engineering.
