Dr. Ariadna Alicia Morales Pérez completed her Bachelor's degree in Chemical Engineering and her Master's degree in Science (Chemical Engineering) with a specialization in Environmental Catalysis at the Iztapalapa Campus of UAM. She obtained her Doctorate in Environmental Engineering with a specialization in Water from the Faculty of Engineering at UNAM. Additionally, she holds two postdoctoral positions in Photocatalysis (one at the Institute of Engineering of UNAM and another in the Chemistry department at the Iztapalapa Campus of UAM).

Dr. Morales is a co-author of more than ten articles published in indexed journals, holds a patent title granted by IMPI, authored more than two book chapters published by Elsevier and Springer, as well as 32 conference proceedings at national and international congresses. She has supervised 10 social services, 5 bachelor's theses, 3 master's theses, and 1 doctoral thesis in the field of Chemical Engineering.

Since 2017, she has been in charge of four research projects funded by PRODEP and UAM respectively. She is also responsible for the Water Analysis Laboratory (LANA) in the Chemical Engineering area.

Currently, she is a member of the National System of Researchers, level 1, and an associate professor in the Chemical Engineering area of the Department of Process Engineering and Hydraulics, Division of Basic Sciences and Engineering at the Iztapalapa Campus of UAM.

Her research lines are:
• Synthesis and characterization of nanomaterials applied to environmental engineering
• Advanced oxidation processes (Fenton, Photo-Fenton, and Photocatalysis) for water and air treatment
• Hydrogen production (renewable energies) through photocatalysis

She is part of the ECOCISTA Network (Circular Economy and Social Innovation Network in Novel Materials for Water Treatment) at UAM and the SDSN Network (Solutions for Sustainable Development, Mexico).

She is responsible for the project "Safe Water for All," registered in the Sustainable Development Solutions Network (SDSN), which focuses on the sixth goal of the 2030 agenda. This project addresses the water needs of rural communities, especially in Regions of Sanitary and Environmental Emergency (RESA), where anthropogenic pollution threatens their water supply sources.
