Dr. Daniel A. May-Arrioja
Dr. Daniel A. May-Arrioja is a Titular Researcher level C at the Optics Research Center (CIO), with its main campus in the city of Leon, Guanajuato, and an additional campus in the city of Aguascalientes, Aguascalientes, where he conducts his research activities. Dr. May-Arrioja received the degree in Electronics Engineering from the Tuxtla Gutiérrez Institute of Technology (I.T.T.G.) in 1996, the M.Sc. from the National Institute for Astrophysics, Optics and Electronics (INAOE) in 1998, and the M.Sc. and Ph.D. in Optics from CREOL, The College of Optics and Photonics at the University of Central Florida in 2002 and 2006, respectively. He joined the Optics Department at INAOE from January 2007 to 2009 as a postdoctoral researcher. From September 2009 to January 2015, he was a Research Professor at the Autonomous University of Tamaulipas (UAT) in Reynosa, Tamaulipas, Mexico. During this time, he completed multiple research visits to CREOL. Since January 2015, he has been a titular researcher at the CIO. Dr. May-Arrioja is a member of the National Research System (SNII) from SECIHTI (SNII-3).
Dr. May-Arrioja leads the Integrated and Fiber Optics Laboratory (@FIO_Lab), where his research focuses on the design, manufacture, and testing of photonic devices based on optical fibers, with a particular emphasis on Specialty Fibers for applications ranging from sensors to pulsed and tunable lasers. A particular focus is related to integrated photonic devices for the development of various devices such as switches, sensors, and MEMS devices. Dr. May Arrioja has developed several scientific and technological projects, resulting in the publication of more than 70 peer-reviewed articles and 5 book chapters. Recent research interests have spanned to Terahertz, Plasmonics (LRSPP), and Microfluidics for the development of passive and active sensors, biosensors, and photonic devices.
