VIDEA VARGAS, MARCELO FERNANDO

Dr. Videa obtained a Bachelor's degree in Chemistry from Tecnológico de Monterrey in 1993 and a Ph.D. degree in Physical Chemistry from Arizona State University in 1999. He joined Tecnológico de Monterrey in August 2000. He is also an Adjunct Professor in the Department of Chemistry at Rice University. His research focuses on the chemical and electrochemical synthesis of metal nanoparticles and the study of the parameters for the kinetic control of nucleation and growth processes. The goal of reaching an understanding of controlling the size and shape of the nanoparticles produced chemically or electrochemically to contribute to applications in electrocatalysis and the development of sensors.
