Nanostructured substrates
Selene Rubí Islas-Sánchez
Dr. Selene Islas obtained her degree in Chemistry from the National Autonomous University of Mexico, UNAM in 2009. She earned a master´s and doctorate degree in Chemical Sciences from UNAM in 2012 and 2018, respectively. She recently joined the Institute for applied Sciences and Technology of the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) as Academic Associate. She is a member of the National Research System of Mexico. She specializes in molecular and vibrational spectroscopy, such as Raman, FTIR, Florescence and UV-visible absorption. Hers scientific interests lie in studies of molecule-substrate interaction, functionalization of nanostructures to attain new physical-chemical properties and the development of analytic platforms suitable for detection of biomolecules and environmental monitoring. |
She currently works at the University Laboratory for Spectroscopic Characterization (LUCE), ICAT, UNAM, where she provides continuous advice to academics and students on the basic principles of characterization techniques, as well as the proper use of equipment and the scope of the different spectroscopic techniques.
