Raúl Rangel-Rojo
Professor Rangel studied Physics at Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana, Unidad Iztapalapa, in Mexico City. He later received an M.Sc. degree in Physics also at UAM-Iztapalapa. He then moved to Scotland where he studied for an M.Sc. Optoelectronics and Laser Devices, a joint program between Heriot-Watt, and St. Andrews Universities. Later, he received a Ph.D. from Heriot-Watt University. Upon finishing the Ph.D., he returned to México to join the Department of Optics at Centro de Investigación Científica y de Educación Superior de Ensenada (CICESE), in Ensenada, Baja California México as a Research Fellow, where he is now a Senior Scientist.
His research interests are centered in the study of the nonlinear optical properties of materials, and their possible use in all-optical signal processing devices, and in the generation of photon pairs with tailored entanglement properties, of interest for quantum information processing systems. These studies have included different kinds of materials: organic molecules, amorphous semiconductors, and more recently nanostructured materials. His work has also included the development of passive and active waveguides, as well as the study of propagation and emission effects in these systems. It also includes the development of ultrashort pulse amplifiers.
His academic productivity includes the publication of more than 70 refereed papers, several conference proceedings, and 5 book chapters, which have received close to 1000 citations in the literature. He has graduated 1 B.Sc., 11 M.Sc., and 6 Ph.D. students, and has been the principal investigator in several projects financed through CONACYT-México grants. He has been a Researcher for more than 20 years at CICESE, spent almost two-years as a postdoctoral visitor in the National Institute of Materials and Chemical Research, in Tsukuba Japan, and has made short research stays at Heriot-Watt University, U. de Santiago de Compostela, Spain, University of California Davis, in the USA and in the University of Padova, Italy. He has imparted several invited talks at International meetings, Research Centers, and in didactical events such as summer schools.
He has been part of different organizing committees for Mexican and international meetings, has been part of editorial committees for various academic journals, and has participated in different evaluation committees for CONACYT-México, and for grant proposals from Argentina and Austria. He was Vice-president (2011-2012) and President (2013-2014) of the Academia Mexicana de Óptica. He was Head of the Department of Optics of CICESE for one year (2009), and Director of the Applied Physics Division also at CICESE (2010-2015).
