PhD in Energy Systems with a background in thermofluids. My current research focuses on concentrated solar power (CSP), solar heat for industrial processes (SHIP), and engineering thermodynamics modeling.
¿Y si (ab)uso de la descripción estadística de la segunda ley de la termodinámica para explicar porqué siempre las luces de navidad están enredadas cada vez que las vamos a colocar en el árbol?
🤣
Digo, creo que con eso podría justificar porque no pongo ningún adorno en estas fechas...
Funded by Consejo Mexiquense de Ciencia y Tecnología(COMECyT). Thanks to Universidad Nacional de Educación a Distancia (UNED) and colleagues for a research stay that inspired this formalized, classroom-tested framework. #AcademicCommunity #PhysicsTeaching
The framework starts with Carnot and adds realism:1. Internal dissipation, 2. Imperfect reservoirs, 3. Finite-time heat transfer (Curzon-Ahlborn), 4. Real heat exchangers, 5. Radiative sources (e.g., solar). Each model sets a relevant bound.

New in Eur. J. Phys.: My article bridges the gap between ideal Carnot theory & real-world engine efficiency. I present a teaching framework with 5 progressive models, from internal losses to capturing sunlight. A toolkit for educators & engineers.

🎓 Your PhD supervisor relationship can make or break the journey.
It's the unspoken core of the experience.
Pro tips:
🔸 Set communication rules early
🔸 Learn to "manage up" professionally
🔸 Own your progress
Navigate this crucial alliance wisely.

Entropía, o elegantemente, la pulsión de la irreversibilidad.
Sigo nutriendo (Edu) entre paréntesis, ese margen abierto donde las palabras respiran sin prisa
y buscan sólo resonar.
Si quieres asomarte, quizá alguna línea te acompañe.

Perfect mix of professionalism and approachability! 🌟
🔄 The Productivity Paradox: I accelerated my research output by stopping forced work.
By tracking energy instead of hours and scheduling real mental breaks, I found that calm isn't idleness—it's recovered focus.

🚀 New paper out! We modelled a solar-powered Vuilleumier refrigerator—a mechanical simplicity, electricity-free cooling dream. 🌞➡️❄️
Key finding: It's the regenerator design, NOT bigger solar concentrators, that limits max efficiency. A game-changer for #SolarCooling
Great memories from SWC 2025.
I've been involved with ISES for 12 years, my "solar family"...
🕯️ The most vital academic work happens in silence.
Months of unwitnessed labor, solitary doubt, and deferred validation—this is where real scholarship is built.
You are not falling behind. You are forging ahead where few can follow.

🎓 PhD truths I learned the hard way:
"Good for your CV" isn't enough
Academia isn't pure meritocracy
Your progress > your self-assessment
It's a marathon; career = ultramarathon
