ARMENTA MONZON, FABIOLA

Ph.D. in Engineering Physics with a strong background in optical system design, photonic sensing, and spectroscopy. My research focuses on understanding and exploiting plasmonic and nanophotonic phenomena for advanced optical sensing and characterization at the nanoscale.

Experienced in developing and validating optical prototypes, including Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR), the brand-new Plasmon–Coupled Scattering Microscopy (PCSM), and Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS) systems, as well as modeling light–matter interactions using MATLAB and the T-matrix method. I have designed, aligned, characterized, and worked with complex optical systems, such as SPR, SERS, Leakage Radiation Microscopy (LRM), and PCSM setups, to study light–matter interactions at the nanoscale.

Author of peer-reviewed publications in plasmonics, spectroscopy, and nanophotonics fields. Currently working as a Postdoctoral Researcher at CIMAV, where I apply interdisciplinary approaches that integrate optics, materials science, and environmental sensing.

Open to collaborations in plasmonics, light-matter interactions, optical sensing, advanced microscopy, and nanophotonics.
