About Me
Dr. José Javier Sánchez Mondragón area is quantum optics and microcavities, where he was the founder of the first group in Mexico in 1980 at CIO, León Guanajuato, from 1980 to 1991. Nevertheless, in this period his work also involved resonant optical solitons and later became a world leader in the optical spatial solitons, particularly photrefractive solitons. This last results were obtained when he was moved to the Photonics and Physical Optics Laboratory which he is its founder and director from 1991 at the INAOE. From 1996 to 2003 he was at the Autonomous University of Morelos (UAEM) in order to create the CIICaP, a Engineering center which looks for Industry for Engineers in México. Dr. Sánchez has been a great promoter of the human resources formation he founded the graduate program at CIO in 1984 and re-organize the graduate program at INAOE in 1992. These programs have graduated several optics and electronics Doctorates and some of them work here at DICIS.
Dr. Sánchez is SNI member, level III (the highest) from 1996, Fellow of the Optical Society of America (OSA), he got the Annual prize of the Optical Academy of Mexico (AMO) in 1996. He has published more than 100 papers in ISI Journals with more than 1,000 cites, he has more than 100 proceedings. He has been organizer of several meetings and workshops as: the International Workshop on Photonics series , Education and Training on Optics and Photonics 1999, Winter workshop on Solitons in 1997 and IEEE Summer Topicals 2010, among others. He got the “Foundation Mary Street Jenkins” scholarship, and also UNAM ́s scholarship, where he graduated from. He received his master and Ph.D. from the University of Rochester in 1980.
