Profile

Carlos O. Castillo Araiza has been a professor since 2010 in the Chemical Engineering Area of the Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana (UAM) Iztapalapa Campus. Since he obtained his Ph.D., he has been part of the national system of researchers, currently holding the distinction of Level II researcher.

Professor Castillo Araiza currently coordinates the laboratory of catalytic reactor engineering applied to chemical and biological systems (LIRC).

His line of research focuses on catalytic reactor engineering from a sustainable perspective in economic, environmental, and energetic terms, with social impact. This line of research integrates experimentation, chemical engineering fundamentals (transport phenomena, chemical kinetics, and thermodynamics), and applied mathematics to deepen the multiscale understanding of a given reaction system, resulting in its design, optimization, and intensification.

He has been a guest editor in several special volumes of the International Journal of Chemical Reactor Engineering and participated as editor in one of the volumes of the Book Series: Advances in chemical engineering.

Professor Castillo Araiza was an international guest editor of the Anuario Institucional de Investigaciones de la Universidad Unipaz de Colombia. From 2015 to 2019, he was the vice president of the Mexican Academy of Energy. Since 2017 he has been the graduate coordinator in Chemical Engineering; from 2018 to date, he has implemented several actions aimed at generating scientific and technological advances with social impact in rural areas of the northern highlands of Puebla.
