Ángel Sánchez has a strong academic background in the field of materials chemistry, a knowledge base he has successfully applied to the areas of industrial property and technology transfer. He holds a Bachelor’s and a Master’s degree in Chemistry from the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), as well as a PhD in Chemistry from the University of Bristol, United Kingdom. He further enhanced his academic training with postdoctoral studies at Aalto University in Finland. Since 2019, Ángel has worked as a patent technician at the Mexican law firm Arochi & Lindner, where he advises various national and international companies on the protection of industrial property before the Mexican Institute of Industrial Property (IMPI) and other international patent offices. His responsibilities range from providing opinions on the patentability of inventions and analysing potential patent infringements, to preparing technical support to ensure thorough substantive examination during the patent application process. His experience spans innovations across multiple sectors, including the pharmaceutical industry, household products, chemicals, metallurgy, and polymers. Committed to education and the dissemination of knowledge on industrial property protection, Ángel has delivered lectures and workshops at various universities, both in Mexico and abroad, aimed at students in chemistry and engineering. Through these activities, he seeks to foster understanding of the legal rights and principles that protect new technologies and knowledge, thereby promoting innovation and scientific development.

Hernando Ortega Carrillo is engineer from UNAM with over 30 years of academic experience and a faculty member at IIMAS since 1999. He has developed technology in the fields of computing, robotics, prosthetics, instrumentation, and automation. He holds four patents (one also registered in the U.S. and Canada and licensed to industry) and has more than 20 computer systems registered with INDAUTOR, along with several technical manuals and a book—all in collaboration with students, colleagues, and partners. He has received support from the Ministry of Economy, the Ministry of Culture, and the Ministry of Science and Technology of Mexico City, as well as internal funds from UNAM. He founded and directed the Innovation and Technological Development Group (GIDETEC), coordinating projects with institutions such as the Faculties of Medicine and Engineering, CIDI, and ENES Juriquilla, with a particular focus on the development of robotic prosthetics. He has established agreements with institutions such as the National Institute of Rehabilitation and CIDI, with whom he promoted specialized laboratories in robotics and advanced manufacturing. During the pandemic, he actively participated in service robotics initiatives, both in academic and entrepreneurial contexts. In 2023–2024, he directed the Artificial Intelligence and Robotics Laboratory at IIMAS located in CDIT Vallejo-I, collaborating with the Mexico City government on outreach, linkage, and entrepreneurship initiatives. He is currently Head of the Outreach Office at IIMAS, where he has led projects with Banxico, the Mexican Stock Exchange (BMV), OpenAI, and other strategic sectors. Since 2012, he has led LAIDETEC, a pioneering company in service robotics and artificial intelligence, awarded the León y Pola Bialik University Prize and the InnovaUNAM award.
