Ana Cecilia Noguez Garrido (born July 17, 1966) is a Mexican physicist, professor, and science communicator. A specialist in the interaction of light with matter on a nanometric scale, she won a National Prize for Arts and Sciences in 2016.
Biography[]
Cecilia Noguez was born in Mexico City on July 17, 1966.[1] She earned a licentiate in physics at the Faculty of Sciences of the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM). In 1993 and 1995, she obtained a master's degree and a doctorate in physics, also at UNAM. She also studied for one year at the University of Rome II.[2] From July 1995 to 1996, she had a postdoctoral residency at Ohio University's Department of Physics and Astronomy. In 2018, the Autonomous University of Mexico State (UAEM) awarded her a honorary doctorate.[3]
In 2018, she participated as a mentor for the initiative "Niñas STEM, pueden" (STEM Girls, They Can).[4]
Researcher and academic[]
Noguez is a researcher at the UNAM Institute of Physics, and since 1992 has been a professor at its Faculty of Sciences, where she teaches electromagnetism, quantum mechanics, solid state physics, and computational physics in the licentiate, master's, and doctoral programs. She is a member of the Sistema Nacional de Investigadores, the Mexican Academy of Sciences, and the .[1]
She has conducted theoretical and computational research to study the interaction between light and matter at the nanometer scale. She also made contributions in areas such as plasmonics, studies of metallic nanoparticles, and surface physics.[5] Her works have been the conceptual basis for the development of plasmonic nanostructures and two-dimensional films for the control of their optical activity.[1]
