Pablo Cardoso graduated as bachelor in Physics from Universidad Autónoma de Zacatecas. He joined Centro de Investigaciones en Óptica (CIO) as postgraduate student and obtained the degree of Doctor in Sciences in 2016, focusing his research in the synthesis, characterization and application of metallic nanomaterials. In 2017 he was distinguished with the Candidate level at the National Researchers System (SNII) and for two years he worked at CIO as a Research Technician in the Biomedical Spectroscopy and Nanomaterials Lab. At the end of 2018 he joined the Environmental Chemistry Lab at University of Guadalajara as postdoctoral researcher. Since June 2020, he is an Associate Researcher at CIO where he is focusing in nanophotonics research with applications to the biomedical and environmental fields. In 2020 he was promoted to SNII level 1.
He has lectured workshops and courses in Universidad de Guanajuato, Universidad De La Salle Bajío and in Universidad de Guadalajara.
