Personal information

Biography

Dr. Francis Avilés is a Scientist at the Materials Department of the “Scientific Research Center of Yucatan” (CICY for its Spanish acronym), located in Mérida, Mexico. He is a Mechanical Engineer with a Master degree in Applied Physics and a PhD in solid body mechanics. He received his PhD in 2005 from Florida Atlantic University, working on the mechanics of composite materials and sandwich structures, and worked as a Research Associate at the Center for Composite Materials of the University of Delaware. He returned to Mexico in 2006 and worked as scientific researcher thereafter. His current research interests focus on the mechanics, electro-mechanics and multifunctional properties of composite materials, piezoresistive and thermoresistive properties of nanostructured polymer composites, carbon nanostructures, and smart materials.
