Dr. Luis Alejandro Díaz Flores

Dr. Luis Alejandro Díaz Flores completed his bachelor's, master's and doctoral degrees (2004-2018) in the analytical chemistry department of the Faculty of Chemistry, UNAM. During this time, he specialized in the development and optimization of analytical methods using miniaturized sample preparation techniques, followed by chromatographic analysis (gases and liquids). The potential applications of these developments include solid, liquid and gaseous samples in food, pharmaceutical and environmental samples.

Dr. Díaz Flores has experience in the use of sample preparation techniques such as: solid phase extraction (SPE), solid phase microextraction (SPME), stir bar sorptive extraction (SBSE), dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (DLLME) and hollow fiber-liquid phase microextraction (HF-LPME).

He is currently a subject professor at the Faculty of Chemistry, where he teaches Instrumental Analytical Chemistry. Likewise, he is a member of the academic-scientific panel that participates in the norm for the regulation of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in Mexico City, where the National Chamber of the Cosmetic Products Industry (CANIPEC) and the Mexican Institute of Aerosol (IMAAC) also participate.

Dr. Díaz Flores is responsible of the research and development area in a propellant gas company, where he develops new analytical alternatives for the characterization of organic pollutants in gas samples.
