Dr. Raúl Pérez-Bustamante has a BSc degree in Mechanical Engineering from the Technological Institute of Chihuahua, Mexico. He concluded his MSc degree in Material Science and Doctorate degree in Material Science at The Advanced Materials Research Center CIMAV, Mexico. After completing his doctorate, Dr. Pérez-Bustamante helds the position of Research Professor at The Mexican Corporation for Research on Materials (COMIMSA), as part of the program 850 of CATEDRAS of The National Council for Science and Technology (CONACYT). He is an enthusiastic researcher in the study of the mechanical and microstructural behavior of metal matrix composite materials modified by dispersing micro- and nano-particles. Specifically, light alloys present an attractive study opportunity due to their versatility in terms of mechanical strength and lightness. The dispersion of nanoparticles of different nature in this type of alloys provides a window to observe their behavior and effect on different light alloys, particularly when alternative procedures are used in their synthesis.
