Professor Moisés Martínez Mares was born on September 15, 1968, in the city of León de Los Aldamas, in the state of Guanajuato, Mexico; he moved to Mexico City to pursue his undergraduate studies at the Faculty of Sciences of the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM), where he obtained his degree as Physicist on March 13, 1993. Subsequently, also at the Faculty of Sciences, he received the degrees of Master and Doctor of Science, specializing in Physics, on January 18, 1996, and February 16, 2001, respectively; he made two postdoctoral stays, one at the Commissariat a l'Energie Atomique (CEA), France, from March 2001 to February 2002, and the other at the Instituto de Física de la Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, from May 2002 to October 2003.

Professor Martínez Mares joined the Physics Department of the Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana, Iztapalapa Campus, in 2006. He is currently a member of the National System of Researchers, Level II, and an active member of the Mexican Society of Physics.

His research deals with wave scattering in complex media applied to different situations and systems. In particular, he studies the transport of electrons through quantum devices, either chaotic (classical chaotic dynamics) or diffusive (with impurities inside). He has also studied the effects of symmetries and decoherence in wave transport, as well as power losses and imperfect coupling of the devices that feed the system under study; he also analyzes the feasibility and makes proposals for experimental realization with classical wave systems, such as microwaves and elastic systems. He has also been interested in studying locally periodic wave systems from the point of view of the dynamics of nonlinear mappings and their relationship with the phenomenon of wave transport through chaotic and diffusive systems.

Since 2010, he has participated as the theoretical member of the Group of Waves and Metamaterials, whose members come from the Azcapotzalco and Iztapalapa Campuses of the UAM, in the Departments of Basic Sciences and Physics, respectively, and the Institute of Physical Sciences of the UNAM; he was the technical responsible for a project approved by the National Council of Science and Technology. Also, since 2010, he has participated in the organization of the Mexican Meeting on Mathematical and Experimental Physics, a large symposium with international character organized mainly by UAM professors, which is held every three years at El Colegio Nacional.

The results of his research work have been used for the training of human resources at different levels through Social Service and Terminal Project projects, which at UAM is equivalent to a Bachelor's Thesis, and the direction of both Master's and Doctoral Theses. These results have been published in prestigious international journals and presented at specialized international events and national congresses.
