Helen Paola Toledo Jaldin is a Chemical Engineer with a specialization in environmental engineering from Universidad Mayor de San Andrés (Bolivia). She holds a Master’s degree in Materials Science from Tecnológico de Toluca (Mexico) and a second Master’s degree in Environmental Project Development from the International Institute of Environmental Training (Spain). She earned her PhD in Materials Science from the Universidad Autónoma del Estado de México.
She completed postdoctoral research in advanced materials in collaboration with UNAM and the Universidad Autónoma de San Luis Potosí. Currently, she works as a professor-researcher at the Tecnológico de Estudios Superiores de Tianguistenco and has also been affiliated with the Universidad Politécnica de Otzolotepec. She collaborates with the Instituto Nacional de Investigaciones Nucleares, particularly in plasma laboratory projects related to gas purification.
Dr. Toledo Jaldin is a member of Mexico’s National System of Researchers (SNI Level 1). Her research focuses on materials engineering, including the synthesis, characterization, and application of advanced materials for environmental remediation, gas purification, adsorption processes, and industrial applications. She has conducted international research stays at the University of Manchester (UK) and CSIRO (Australia).
She has published extensively in high-impact international journals (JCR-indexed) and has participated in numerous national and international conferences. Her work includes the development of nanomaterials, hybrid composites, and adsorption systems for pollutant removal, as well as functional materials for sensing and catalytic applications.
