Duties at Last Work Places
Teaching
I
teach physics and perform scientific researcher at EPN, Quito. I have been
teaching undergraduate and graduate courses in several subjects for Engineering
and Physics students since 1991, supervising students in their diploma and
M.Sc. thesis, making proposals and performing scientific research at the Dept.
of Physics.
Research
Mass spectrometry
I
have mainly been working with MALDI TOF MS, including instrument development
and construction, studying fundamental phenomena and performing applications. We
have built several TOF mass spectrometers with delayed extraction and
reflectron and also included MS/MS capabilities in some of them. I was an active
part in the collaboration we had with the International Program for the
Physical Sciences (IPPS) and the Div. of on Physics, of the Uppsala University,
Uppsala, Sweden, since 1994 to 2006, that supported these efforts.
During
my time in Germany as a Humboldt Researcher, at the Inst. of Inorganic and
Analytical Chemistry, of the Justus Liebig University Giessen, I was involved
in the development of instrumentation and methods for the physical-chemical
analysis of aerosols. I participated in the design, construction and test of a
prototype for a miniaturized Laser Desorption/Ionization Time-of-flight Mass Spectrometer
for non-impacted single-particle analysis. Additionally, I did perform studies
on the fundamental processes leading to ion generation by LDI for this type of
methodology. This work was partially supported with a Georg Forster Fellowship
of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation, Bonn ,
Germany
In
the period 2008 -2010, I participated and coordinated locally a collaboration
to study the proteome of endemic parasites (Taenia Solium and Saginata).
The collaboration included our group, the International Zoonosis Centre at
Universidad Central in Quito, and the Department of Parasitology at the Leiden
University Medical Center in the Netherlands.
Spectroscopy
In
the last few years expanded the scope of my work to include optical and laser
spectroscopy. In particular, I obtained in 2007 funding to purchase a
Laser-induced Breakdown Spectrometer and since its acquisition I have been
using this technique to perform applications of the determination of the
elementary composition of different kinds of systems (clays, archeological
shards, aluminum junk for recycling, inorganic pigments in patrimonial artworks
among other) and also fundamental studies of the LIBS plasma (time evolution).
Also, we implemented quantitative methods with LIBS for the determination of
the concentration of metal cations dissolved in water, with an ultimate goal of
developing methods for contamination analysis and trace element quantification.
In
this field I also have worked on the design, construction, and applications of other
spectroscopic techniques: light scattering analysis, (portable fiber-optic and
diode-laser-based) Fluorescence Analysis (LIF), gas analysis in scattering
media by absorption spectroscopy (GASMAS), along with more standard analytical
techniques.
Nanosciences and Nanotechnology
Since
2010 I participate actively in two networks aiming to the development of the
nanosciences at the national and regional levels:
·
NanoAndes (www.nanoandes.org),
where groups and persons from the Andean region (Ecuador, Colombia, Perú,
Venezuela, Bolivia, Argentina), and also from Costa Rica and France, with
support of the French Regional Cooperation, are trying to strengthen links and
collaborations around the unifying topic of the nanosciences.
·
GETnano, a
national network that started as a spin-off of a cooperative project on
modeling of molecular and nanosystems, where we input experimental expertise to
identify potential problems of interest for quantum chemical simulations.
Actual Scientific Interests
Presently I have interests in developing
along the following lines. We would readily welcome collaborations and support
on these or related areas:
1. Mass Spectrometry and Proteomics with
applications in health and biodiversity studies
2. Applications and fundamental studies of
LIBS
3. Applications and fundamental studies in
Spectroscopy
4. Application of Spectroscopy methods to
nano-bio systems
