Professor César Augusto Real Ramírez was born in Mexico City in 1977. He earned his Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering from the Instituto Politécnico Nacional (IPN) in 2000, followed by a Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering from the same institution in 2004. In 2008, he received his Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering from the Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana (UAM).

He currently serves as a tenured professor in the Department of Systems within the Division of Basic Sciences and Engineering (DCBI) at the Azcapotzalco Campus of UAM. He teaches undergraduate courses such as Numerical Methods in Engineering, Structured Programming, Finite Element Analysis, Introduction to Materials, Steelmaking Processes, Metallurgy Laboratory IV, Selected Topics in Metallurgical Engineering, Foundry, and Operations Research I. At the graduate level, he has taught Research Seminar in Engineering, Selected Topics in Materials Engineering II, Numerical Methods Applied to Engineering, Selected Topics in Bioclimatics, Advanced Mathematics in Process Engineering, and Thesis Projects I, II, and III at the Azcapotzalco Campus of UAM, ITESM Mexico City Campus, and SEPI ESIME Zacatenco of IPN.

He has supervised undergraduate, master’s, and doctoral theses in engineering and design, and has served as a committee member and examiner for professional and graduate-level thesis defenses. He also belongs to the Academic Committee for Case Validation of CENEVAL in Mechanical Engineering.

Professor Real Ramírez has published 30 research articles in high-impact JCR-indexed journals and serves as a reviewer for several international scientific journals.

His main research area focuses on the application of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) to solve industrial problems, including continuous casting of steel slabs, heat transfer in power generation systems, and complex natural phenomena, among others. He has also served as technical lead on various sponsored research projects.

He has authored one book and two book chapters published by the Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana, one of which he presented at the Guadalajara International Book Fair in 2018. In addition, he has contributed to the development and revision of academic programs in the Chemical Engineering and Electrical Engineering undergraduate programs at the Azcapotzalco Campus of UAM, supporting the accreditation processes conducted by CACEI.

Professor Real Ramírez founded and leads the Scientific Computing and Visualization Laboratory within the Division of Basic Sciences and Engineering at the Azcapotzalco Campus of UAM. From 2015 to 2021, he also served as Division Academic Coordinator for Information Technologies in the same division.

He has held the PRODEP distinction granted by the Ministry of Public Education since 2009 without interruption, and he has been recognized as a Level 1 National Researcher by the National System of Researchers (SNII) continuously since 2009.
