Mr. Francisco Javier GOMEZ CANO | Materials Science | Editorial Board Member
Le Mans Université-CINVESTAV | France
Francisco Javier-Gómez Cano is a multidisciplinary researcher currently pursuing a dual PhD in Physics at Le Mans Université, France (2021–present) and in Nanoscience and Nanotechnology at CINVESTAV-IPN, Mexico (2020–present). His research focuses on the design, synthesis, and characterization of TiO₂–graphene oxide (GO) nanocomposites, with particular emphasis on photocatalysis, water remediation, adsorption mechanisms, and ceramic-based functional materials. With a strong background spanning ceramic engineering and environmental engineering, he integrates experimental materials science with computational approaches, including density functional theory (DFT) to elucidate bandgap modulation, interfacial interactions, and photocatalytic pathways in advanced composites. Francisco has authored and co-authored more than 10 peer-reviewed research papers, including contributions to Journal of Nanomaterials, Ceramics International, Journal of Environmental Chemical Engineering, Crystals, and IEEE conference proceedings. His work collectively addresses photocatalytic degradation of environmental pollutants, sol-gel and dip-coating thin films, graphene oxide chemistry, perovskite film optimization, and metal oxide nanostructures. His publications have gained growing visibility within the materials science and nanotechnology communities, supported by international collaborations with researchers in France, Mexico, Argentina, India, and Poland. He has presented his research in multiple international forums, including the International Materials Research Congress (IMRC), the International Conference on Electrical Engineering, Computing Science, and Automatic Control (CCE), and the SAM Congress. He has served as session chair, co-organizer, and invited speaker across several events, reflecting his leadership in academic dissemination. His membership roles include the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) and the Mexican Materials Society, and he previously served as President of the CINVESTAV Student Council.
