My experience on Perovskites solar cells (PSCs) comes from IER-UNAM, where I had the opportunity to take a 1-week course with Dra. Hailin research group. Here, we developed some MAPbI3 Perovskite solar cells with regular n-i-p architecture. Due to the fabrication protocol they were following, we could develop PSCs of up to 12% in our first attempt. Workshop - Development of Hybrid Perovskite Solar Cells - IER-UNAM, June 2019. Imagine how it feels to fabricate a device of 12% of conversión energy in your first week of experimental research. That is the magic of perovskite materials because it is easy…

Hace una semana llegó a mis manos un artículo de Nature.com sobre redacción colaborativa mediante un software llamado Manubot [zotpressInText item="{6612042:4ZV38YIM}"]. El artículo explica la posibilidad de redactar de forma abierta manuscritos científicos. La idea central es implementar un sistema de control de versiones (Git) online (GitHub) para organizar la redacción de documentos. Este método propone un cambio de paradigma a la forma habitual de trabajar de un investigador, ya que el sistema permite visualizar en todo momento el avance del documento. Al trabajar en la plataforma GitHub es posible administrar la colaboración de un grupo de participantes numeroso. Además,…

February 11th has been designated as the international day of women and girls in science to promote their participation in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) activities [1]. For the first time in 2020, the Physics Institute of BUAP (IFUAP) opens its doors to young girls to talk about science and technology. Here, at the BUAP IF2 building, you can find me at the Lab-205 which is designed for the development of hin films and nanoparticles of novel materials. This laboratory is where I am doing my postdoctoral project but take it easy. I am not going to explain physic or chemistry stuff.…
