Aaron Torres Huerta

Aaron Torres Huerta born in Morelos, Mexico. Aaron received his Ph.D. in 2014 under the supervision of Prof. Herbert Höpfl (UAEM, Mexico). From 2014-2016, Aaron worked as a postdoctoral fellow under the supervision of Prof. Vojtech Jancik (CCIQS-UNAM, Mexico). Then, he worked as a postdoctoral fellow under the supervision of Prof. Ramon Vilar (ICL, UK). Subsequently, Aaron joined the Berkeley Global Science Institute initiative, collaborating with Prof. B. Rodriguez-Molina (UNAM, Mexico).

In 2022, Aaron was awarded a Marie Skłodowska-Curie individual fellowship working under the supervision of Dr Hennie Valkenier to study the transmembrane transport of organic anions (ULB, Belgium).
