  • Notas: Edison Castro was born in Narino, Colombia. He obtained his BSc from the Universidad de Narino, Colombia, in 2008, and his MS degree from the Universidad del Valle in Cali, Colombia, in 2011. Currently he is pursuing his PhD under the supervision of Prof. Luis Echegoyen at The University of Texas at El Paso. His current research interests include the synthesis of fullerene derivatives for photovoltaic and biological applications, and the design of perovskite solar cells.
    Prof. Luis Echegoyen obtained both his BSc and PhD from the University of Puerto Rico in Rio Piedras. After several professorships at the Universities of Puerto Rico, Maryland, and Miami he was appointed Chair of the Department of Chemistry at Clemson University, in South Carolina. Later he served as Division Director for Chemistry at the National Science Foundation for 4 years (2006-2010) and more recently, he became the Robert A. Welch Professor of Chemistry at the University of Texas-El Paso in 2010. His research interests include fullerene chemistry, electrochemistry, and supramolecular chemistry, with a special emphasis on photovoltaics and endohedral fullerenes.
    Andrea Hernandez Garcia is an undergraduate student expecting to receive her BS at the University of Texas at El Paso in Cellular and Molecular Biochemistry in the Spring of 2017. She is currently an undergraduate researcher working on the synthesis of new fullerenes for photovoltaic and biological applications under the mentorship of Prof. Luis Echegoyen.
    Gerardo Zavala is an undergraduate student currently pursuing a BS in Chemistry at The University of Texas at El Paso. While studying there, he joined the BUILDing SCHOLARS program, a research-intensive scholarship program. He joined Prof. Luis Echegoyen's research group in May 2016. His current research interests include the synthesis and characterization of fullerene derivatives for their application in perovskite solar cells as well as their biological applications.
