Abstract

Salvador was born on the 10th of March, 1965 in Mexico City and grew up in Guanajuato. He received his bachelor’s degree in physical engineering in 1990 from the Ibero-American University in Mexico City. It was during this period that he met his future life partner and wife, our friend and colleague Fabiola Vázquez. He obtained his Master’s degree in sciences (physics) from the Center for Research and Advanced Studies (CINVESTAV) of the National Polytechnic Institute (IPN) in 1995, where he also obtained his doctorate in sciences (physics) in March, 2003. From 2000 until his departure he worked full-time as an academic at the Ibero-American University in Mexico City. Salvador left an indelible mark on the particle physics community both domestically as well as internationally. His work in research, education, science outreach and his dedication in supporting the indigenous communities of our country has left an important legacy which will continue to bear fruit.
