Dr. Deyanira Ángeles Beltrán graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Chemical Engineering and completed her Master's and Ph.D. in Science and Materials Engineering (Materials Chemistry) from the Azcapotzalco Campus of the Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana (UAM). She completed a postdoctoral stay at the Mexican Petroleum Institute.

She has served as a research assistant, assistant professor, and is currently a full-time Titular Professor, Level C, in the Chemistry Area of the Department of Basic Sciences. She is the principal investigator of two research projects—one funded by Prodep and another by UAM—, and she participates in several Basic Science projects funded by CONACYT.

Dr. Ángeles Beltrán has presented over twenty conferences related to materials, their characterization, application, and chemical education. She has supervised thirty-three undergraduate final projects or integrative projects in Chemical Engineering, six at the graduate level (two in Environmental Science and Engineering and four in Materials Science and Engineering), and one Ph.D. dissertation in Materials Science and Engineering (two in process). She has been a member of the Chemical Society of Mexico since 2000 and the Mexican Society of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance since 2021.

She has received the University Merit Medal for her doctoral studies and a Research Diploma for her undergraduate thesis. Dr. Ángeles Beltrán has given 150 presentations at national and international conferences and has 80 publications in peer-reviewed, indexed national and international journals.

Her research focuses on porous materials as absorbents and supports in heterogeneous catalysis, hydrogen retention, and the removal of ions in aqueous solutions. She characterizes materials using X-ray diffraction, infrared and UV-visible spectroscopy, nitrogen physisorption, thermogravimetric and differential scanning thermal analysis, and scanning electron microscopy. She teaches courses in the core curriculum of engineering programs at the Azcapotzalco Campus of UAM, including Atomic Structure and Chemical Bonding, Structure and Properties of Materials in Engineering, and their corresponding laboratory courses. In the professional track of Chemical Engineering, she teaches Material Characterization and Kinetics and Catalysis, as well as graduate courses in the Science and Materials Engineering program, such as Materials Synthesis, Materials Characterization, Materials Evaluation, New Materials, Sustainable Chemistry, Emerging Technologies in Materials, Advanced Techniques in Scanning Electron Microscopy, and Research Project Seminar in Materials.

She has participated in knowledge dissemination conferences at high school level institutions and is a member of the core faculty of the Master’s Programs in Environmental Science and Engineering and the Master’s Program in Materials Science and Engineering, for which she served as coordinator from March 2020 to July 2024. Since September 2018, she has been the Head of the Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Laboratory at UAM's Azcapotzalco Campus.
