About

Camilo Zamora-Ledezma is an experimental physicist. He obtained his PhD in the framework of a cotutelle with the Université de Montpellier (France) and the Universidad Central de Venezuela (Venezuela). He has been doing teaching and research at the Universidad Central de Venezuela, at the Instituto Venezolano de Investigaciones Científicas, at Polytech in Montpellier (France), at Université de Bordeaux (France), at Yachay Tech University (Ecuador) and Universidad Católica de Murcia (Spain). Since 2018, he has been an invited researcher at the research group “Propiedades Mecánicas, Procesado y Modelización de Cerámicas Avanzadas” of the Universidad de Sevilla (Spain). From 2024 to 2026 I was Senior Researcher/Teaching and Research Staff (PDI) Universidad Alfonso X el Sabio (UAX), in Madrid, Spain. Since November 2026, I ve joined the Department of Physicochemical Sciences and Techniques at Universidad Nacional de Educación a Distancia (UNED) (Spain). His research activities are mainly focused on the synthesis of tailored organic/inorganic nanomaterials and biomaterials based on nanocarbon and nanoparticles. He also has broad experiences in experimental techniques of characterizations of materials such as Raman, UV-vis, FTIR and XPS spectroscopies, electron microscopies as well as characterization of the mechanical properties and the nano/micro structure of materials. He has directed various undergraduate and Doctoral thesis and co-authored more than twenty articles and book chapters related to materials science, nanomaterials and biomaterials. He also has been principal investigator and collaborator researcher in more than 12 national, European and international competitive projects.
