Short Bio

Sarah Briceño, Ph.D., joined Yachay Tech in April 2017 as a Lecturer in the School of Physical Sciences and Nanotechnology. She earned her Ph.D. in Applied Chemistry from the University of the Andes in Venezuela. After completing her Ph.D., Briceño accepted a Postdoctoral position as a Member of the Physics Condensed Matter Laboratory – IVIC, focusing on the Synthesis and Characterization of Magnetic Nanoparticles. She had previously been a Researcher at the Venezuelan Institute for Scientific Research IVIC – Venezuela.

Summary of Interests

Optimization of the methods of synthesis of nanostructured materials for different industrial applications.

Current Research projects

Synthesis and characterization of magnetic nanoparticles as potential heating agents for hyperthermia and drug delivery.
