Prof. Ramos Sánchez joined the Northern Arizona University in 2023 and is currently an Associate Professor in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry before he was appointed Tenured Professor in the Faculty of Chemical Sciences (Facultad de Ciencias Químicas in Spanish) at the Autonomous University of Chihuahua (Universidad Autónoma de Chihuahua in Spanish) from 2011 to 2022. During his sabbatical, he was appointed a Visiting Professor at the University of California, San Diego, in 2019. Previously, he was a Lecturer at the Polytechnic University of Chiapas (Universidad Politécnica de Chiapas in Spanish) from 2009 to 2011. Prof. Ramos Sánchez holds a Ph.D. in Chemistry from the University of Sheffield in the United Kingdom and a bachelor’s degree in industrial chemistry from the Autonomous University of Chihuahua. His main area of research focuses on the design and implementation of sustainable materials and processes for hydrogen production and fuel cells, which has led him to accumulate extensive expertise in the development of green routes of synthesis and analysis. Additionally, he collaborates enthusiastically with other fellow researchers in exciting areas such as food technology and environmental science, offering strategies of instrumental analysis for different scientific challenges.

Prof. Ramos Sánchez has received research grants from the U.S. Department of Energy, the Mexican Council of Science and Technology, and the Ministry of Higher Education and contracts from local industrial partners (plastics, aerospace, and agroindustry). His publications have appeared in prestigious journals such as the Journal of Chemical Education, Chemical Engineering Journal, Journal of Material Chemistry A, ACS Environmental Science & Technology, ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering, International Journal of Hydrogen Energy, Catalysis Today, and Carbon, among others. As a result of his research, Professor Ramos Sánchez was granted one patent in Mexico.

Prof. Ramos Sanchez has contributed to the development of human resources both as a research advisor/mentor and as an instructor, teaching courses in instrumental analysis, physical chemistry, general chemistry and sustainable chemistry. He has served as an academic advisor in the elaboration and evaluation of the Mexican Standardized National Assessment of BSc in Chemistry (EGEL-Q/CENEVAL, A.C.)
