About
University of Glasgow, MSc. Sustainable Energy Engineer. Worked at UNEP as Climate Change Mitigation Intern.
Hey, I'm Marisol. I am a sustainable and renewable energy expert from San Luis Potosí, México who understands the social and economic drivers of the current UK and international energy industry, and insights in the behavioural, business, and technical aspects concerned with energy production and distribution.
I am a native Spanish speaker and speak fluently English (C1), advanced German (B2+/C1) and have an intermediate level of French (B1).
I look forward to working for a company whose mission I firmly believe in, such as mitigating climate change. I am excited by the opportunity to work with an innovative, successful company. I look for jobs about which I am passionate because this allows me to be extremely productive and creative.

Projects
In recent years, air pollution has become a big concern worldwide given that particulate matter (PM), including PM10 and PM2.5, has had a major impact on public health and life quality. Many studies have shown that plants can capture PM and increase air quality. The purpose of the project is to provide a systematic literature review in the field of green walls, a bioengineered system that aims to be a solution as it is designed to improve air quality in urbanised areas, with a focus on the mechanisms of the plants to capture PM.
The report concludes with a study case of “Vía Verde”, a green wall project developed in Mexico City that has been critically assessed and analysed, as it was employed as a promising measure to encounter the negative impacts of air pollution.
Keywords: Particulate Matter, Air Pollution, Green Walls, Leaves, Plants, PM capture.
As part of the Integrated Design System Project, the team and I came up with a wind energy approach with an output of 28.3GW that would provide a reduction of 7848 tons of CO2 and savings up to 2.8M pounds per year.

Nafion and Ultrex membranes were modified with nanocomposites (NCs) of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) immobilized on graphene oxide (GO) as a thin film, using a polydopamine adhesive (pda).
Speaking
La educación británica es bien conocida por su gran prestigio mundial, respaldado por su historia y por
ser pioneros en investigaciones de vanguardia. A través de sus universidades ofrecen un sinfín de
posibilidades académicas, lo que posibilita mayores oportunidades laborales tanto en México como en
el resto del mundo. En este seminario se presenta el programa de posgrado de la Maestría en Ciencias
en Energía Sustentable que realicé en la Universidad de Glasgow en Escocia. La Maestría en Energía
Sostenible es un programa interdisciplinario que aborda todos los aspectos clave de la energía
sostenible, desde las tecnologías más avanzadas hasta las consideraciones éticas y económicas. En el
seminario se presenta el proceso de selección de la universidad y programa, beneficios de estudiar en el
Reino Unido, una breve explicación del proceso de aplicación de la beca para posgrado en el extranjero
de CONACyT, contenido del programa y los proyectos desarrollados.
