Juan Manuel Velázquez Arcos obtained an MSc and Ph.D. in Physics from Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México in 1987 and 1985, respectively. From 1977 to 1986, he served as an assistant professor at the same university. Since 1986, he has been a full professor at Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana where he was also chief of the Basic Science Department from 2003 to 2007, president of the Request Judgment Committee from

2001 to 2002, member of the Academic College and of the Academic Council from 2000 to 2001, and division coordinator of the General Subjects Trunk of the Basic Sciences from 1993 to 2000. He was an invited organizer for a special session at the International Conference on Electromagnetic Advanced Applications (ICEAA) 2015 in Torino, Italy. His subjects of interest include mathematical physics, integral equations, communications theory, relativity, quantum mechanics, electromagnetic broadcasting, nanotechnology, acoustic and electromagnetic time reversal, acoustic and electromagnetic resonances, metamaterials, non-local potentials in nuclear physics, electromagnetic theory, and thermodynamics.
