Camilo
Zamora-Ledezma

I am an experimental physicist with a diverse academic journey. I obtained my PhD through a cotutelle program between the Université de Montpellier (France) and the Universidad Central de Venezuela (Venezuela). Over the years, I’ve engaged in teaching and research at various institutions, including the Universidad Central de Venezuela, the Instituto Venezolano de Investigaciones Científicas, Polytech in Montpellier (France), Université de Bordeaux (France), Yachay Tech University (Ecuador) and the Universidad Católica de Murcia (UCAM, Spain). Since 2018-2024, I have been an invited researcher at the research group ‘Propiedades Mecánicas, Procesado y Modelización de Cerámicas Avanzadas’ at the Universidad de Sevilla (Spain). In September 2024, I joined the UAX - Universidad Alfonso X El Sabio (Spain) as a full-time Senior Researcher/Teaching and Research Staff (PDI). My research focuses primarily on the synthesis of customized organic/inorganic nanomaterials and biomaterials, leveraging nanocarbon and nanoparticles. I bring extensive experience in experimental techniques for material characterization, including Raman, UV-vis, FTIR, and XPS spectroscopies, as well as electron microscopy. Additionally, I study the mechanical properties and nano/microstructure of materials. Also, study their biocompatibility via microbiology and cell culture with different cell lines. Throughout my career, I’ve supervised numerous undergraduate and doctoral theses and co-authored over fourty five articles and book chapters related to materials science, nanomaterials, and biomaterials. Furthermore, I’ve actively contributed as a principal investigator and collaborative researcher in more than twelve national, European, and international competitive projects.
