Profile

Dr. Catalina Éster Haro Pérez holds a Ph.D. and a Bachelor of Science degree in Physics from the Universidad de Granada (Spain). She completed a three-year postdoctoral fellowship at the Institute of Physics of the Universidad Autónoma de San Luis Potosí (UASLP). She holds the rank of National Researcher Level II in the Sistema Nacional de Investigadoras e Investigadores (SNII) within Area I (Physical-Mathematical Sciences and Earth Sciences) and holds the PRODEP Desirable Profile distinction awarded by the Ministry of Public Education (SEP). She is a core faculty member of the Master’s Program in Materials Science and Engineering and the Doctoral Program in Science and Engineering at UAM Azcapotzalco.

She serves as a Full-Time Professor (Level C) in the Department of Basic Sciences within the Division of Basic Sciences and Engineering at the Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana Unidad Azcapotzalco.

Her research focuses on Soft Condensed Matter Physics, particularly the structure, dynamics, and rheology of complex fluids and colloidal suspensions, glass transitions, electrokinetic properties, and thermoresponsive polymer systems. Her scholarly record includes 38 peer-reviewed articles in indexed international journals, 7 book chapters, 14 extended conference proceedings, and the principal leadership of research projects funded by CONAHCYT and PRODEP.
