Feliciano Sánchez Sinencio (México City, December 3, 1938) is a Mexican electronic engineer, researcher, professor, and scholar. He has specialized in semiconductor physics.
Studies
He obtained a degree in electrical communications and electronics engineering in the Superior School of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering (ESIME), at the National Polytechnic Institute (Instituto Politécnico Nacional). He completed a master's degree in physics at the Brazilian Institute for Physics Research (Centro Brasileiro de Pesquisas Físicas) and a Ph.D. at the University of São Paulo.[1][2]
Academia
He has been a researcher and director of the Research Center for Applied Science and Advanced Technology (CICATA) and the Center for Research and Advanced Studies of the National Polytechnic Institute (Cinvestav).[1][3]
He has conducted research on electronic transport in sulfur crystals and polycrystalline semiconductor materials.[4] He is considered an expert in the construction of solar cells. He carried out studies on the mechanical, thermal, and nutritional properties of corn flour in the nixtamalization process.[5][6][7] He discovered the properties of oxygenated amorphous cadmium telluride as an insulating semiconductor.[8] He has worked on the development of new experimental techniques to measure very small amounts of pollutants in the atmosphere.[4]
He was director of the Latin-American Physics Center (Centro Latinoamericano de Física) with headquarters in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil between 2004 and 2012.[5][9][10] He was president of the Mexican Society for the Advancement of Science and Technology (Sociedad Mexicana para el Progreso de la Ciencia y Tecnología).[11][12] He is a member of the Mexican Society of Physics, the Brazilian Society of Physics, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the Mexican Academy of Sciences[13] and the Advisory Council of Science of the Presidency of the Mexican Republic.[1]
He has been a visiting professor at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and at Princeton University.[2]
He has published over 150 scientific articles and has been cited more than 380 times. He is the author of 4 patents in Mexico and 7 in the United States.[14][15]
