Dr. José Gabriel Flores Aguilar's bachelor's degree in chemistry has enabled him to easily adapt to various material applications, including the adsorption of pollutant gases, catalysis, and material synthesis.

During his master's studies at the Azcapotzalco Campus of UAM, he collaborated on several projects and laboratories, focusing particularly on gas capture processes using porous coordination polymers (MOFs) at the Institute of Materials Research. A stint at the Institute of Catalysis and Petrochemistry (ICP) in Madrid led him to develop MOFs at room temperature and their application in oxidation reactions, resulting in the publication of two research articles in indexed journals.

During his doctoral studies at UAM, he conducted a stay at the Faculty of Chemistry at UNAM, where he researched H2S capture with MOFs, the mechanisms of capture of these materials, and the chains of polysulfides generated within the material pores. Another stay at the Institute of Catalysis and Petrochemistry in Madrid allowed him to develop a pioneering methodology for the synthesis of bimetallic MOF-74 and evaluate synergistic effects in oxidation reactions, resulting in the publication of 10 articles in indexed journals.
During his doctoral studies at ICP, he co-directed professional internship projects in catalysis for chemical engineering students at Universidad Rey Juan Carlos. He has taught classes at the Azcapotzalco Campus of UAM in subjects such as Material Structure and Properties, Chemical Reaction Laboratory, Atomic Structure, and Chemical Bonding.

Currently, he is conducting a postdoctoral stay under the direction of Dr. José Antonio de los Reyes at the Iztapalapa Campus of UAM, where his research focuses on the transformation of carbon dioxide using bimetallic and monometallic MOF materials with different degrees of acidity, as well as epoxide opening reactions with amines or alcohols. Throughout his career, he has developed materials using sustainable processes for environmental remediation and/or transformation of toxic gases, aiming to obtain value-added products. He has disseminated the results of his research in scientific articles and at international or national seminars or conferences to promote basic science.

Dr. José Gabriel Flores Aguilar believes that his experience and knowledge are sufficient to successfully develop and execute scientific research projects for the transformation of toxic gases using materials synthesized under sustainable conditions and with minimal energy consumption.
