Profile
Dr. Liliana Irais Vera Robles earned a B.Sc. in Chemistry from the Benemérita Universidad Autónoma de Puebla and a Ph.D. from the Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana, Iztapalapa Campus, where she conducted research on the synthesis and characterization of vanadium oxide nanotubes.
She later completed a postdoctoral stay at the Collège de France under the supervision of Dr. Clément Sanchez, where she contributed to a multidisciplinary project that applied molecular biology techniques to the synthesis of novel nanomaterials.
In 2012, she joined the Department of Chemistry at the Iztapalapa Campus of the Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana as an Associate Professor in the Biophysical Chemistry Area. She supervises undergraduate capstone projects and social service activities for Chemistry students; one of these projects received the Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana Research Award.
Research plays a central role in her academic work. She has supervised 8 master’s students and 2 doctoral students. She publishes research articles in high-impact international journals, presents her work at international conferences, and serves as a reviewer for international scientific journals.
She currently holds Level I membership in Mexico’s National System of Researchers (SNII).
