Josué David Mota-Morales is a Researcher at the Center of Applied Physics and Advanced Technology (CFATA) of the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), in Querétaro City, México (https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8257-0709). He received a pharmaco-biology chemistry degree from the Autonomous University of Queretaro (UAQ) in 2005, an MSc degree in materials sciences from CINVESTAV in 2009, and a Ph.D. also from CINVESTAV in 2012. During his master’s studies, he spent a one-year stay at the Research Center for Applied Chemistry (CIQA) in Coahuila, Mexico, and during the Ph.D. another year at the Institute of Materials Science of Madrid (ICMM)-CSIC at Madrid, Spain, where he was introduced to the deep eutectic solvents field. After the Ph.D. completion, he spent six months as a postdoc at CINVESTAV and Universite du Maine-CNRS in Le Mans, France, working with the modification of polymers surface by plasma. In 2014 he received the prestigious Fulbright Scholarship to work with drug delivery systems at Louisiana State University, USA. In 2015 he joined the Center of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (CNyN) of UNAM in Ensenada, Mexico, as CONACYT Researcher. He has co-authored over 50 scientific papers (H-index 24) and holds the level 2 of the national researchers’ system (SNI) since 2021. He is a member of the Early Career Board of ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering and received the Reconocimiento Distinción Universidad Nacional para Jóvenes Académicos (RDUNJA) 2022 by UNAM in the area of research in Natural Sciences. His current research focuses on the development of novel routes to synthesize polymeric materials and polymeric nanocomposites with specific properties, such as hierarchy, biocompatibility, and sustainability, by taking advantage of strategies that involve deep-eutectic solvents/systems, biomass, and high internal phase emulsions. Other interests include anisotropic gold-based nanostructures, the study of their properties, and their application in biomedicine and sensing.
