Ivan Guerrero worked at the Mexican Institute of Petroleum as a Postdoctoral Researcher during 2007-2008. He joined the group of Monica Olvera de la Cruz at Northwestern University as Postdoctoral Researcher in 2009, being promoted to Research Associate in 2013. In 2014, Ivan was appointed as a National Council of Science and Technology Research Fellow (Catedratico CONACYT) at the Institute of Physics of the University of San Luis Potosi. This position is analogous in spirit to a Centre national de la recherche scientifique (CNRS) Researcher position in France. In 2020, Ivan became Professor of Physics at the Faculty of Sciences of the University of San Luis Potosi, which has been recognized as one of the 10 best universities in Mexico according to the Times Higher Education ranking. Currently, Dr. Guerrero is an International Collaborator of the Center for Computation and Theory of Soft Materials (CCTSM), and an International Research Associate of the Materials Research Science and Engineering Center (MRSEC), both located at Northwestern University.
