Biography

Ana Ramírez – Ledesma has her expertise in rapid solidification techniques for Co-Cr alloys and Zn based alloys. Her innovative and non – conventional solidification techniques creates a new line of investigation for improving their performance in the biomedical field. Moreover, her collaboration with medical institutions (e. g. National Institute of Cardiology (INC, México, Ciudad de México) will allow the technological development of cardiovascular prosthesis which will be easily accessible for Mexican population. She was awarded with the CONACYT scholarship for doctoral studies and conclude her Ph. D. in the Materials Science and Engineering Program (UNAM) at Materials Research Institute (UNAM). Actually, she has a close collaboration with Dr. Hugo Lopez which is an expert with over 20 years of experience in the field of biomedical grade cobalt based alloys.
