Profile
Dr. Guillermo Chacón Acosta holds a Ph.D., a Master’s degree, and a Bachelor’s degree in Physics from the Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana (UAM). He completed research stays at the Universidade Federal do Paraná (Brazil), Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz (Germany), Pennsylvania State University (USA), Universität Potsdam (Germany), and the Universitat de Barcelona (Spain). He served as Coordinator of the Graduate Program in Natural Sciences and Engineering at UAM Cuajimalpa (2015–2018) and on the Board of Directors of the Division of Gravitation and Mathematical Physics of the Mexican Physical Society. He is a member of the Editorial Board of the Revista Mexicana de Física (2026–2028) and holds the rank of National Researcher Level II in the Sistema Nacional de Investigadoras e Investigadores (SNII).
He serves as a Full-Time Professor in the Department of Applied Mathematics and Systems within the Division of Natural Sciences and Engineering at the Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana Unidad Cuajimalpa.
His research focuses on nonequilibrium statistical physics, relativistic gases, quantum-gravity phenomenology, and complex systems modeling applied to socioeconomic and financial processes. His current work investigates diffusion processes in complex networks, curved surfaces, and mathematical mechanisms of pattern formation. His scholarly output includes over 50 peer-reviewed articles, four co-edited books, and the supervision of ten undergraduate and graduate theses.
