Welcome to my academic website! I am María Dolores Durán García, a faculty member in the Mechanical Engineering department at the Universidad Autónoma del Estado de México. My passion lies in exploring the intersection of thermodynamics, energy efficiency, and sustainable engineering practices. Through rigorous research and dedicated teaching, I strive to contribute to the advancement of knowledge in these critical areas and to inspire the next generation of engineers to tackle the pressing energy challenges of our time.
Here you'll find information about my research interests, publications, and teaching activities. My recent work includes analyses of power plant efficiency and explorations of fundamental principles relevant to sustainable work habits. I invite you to explore the site, learn more about my work, and feel free to reach out if you have any questions or wish to collaborate. I am always eager to engage in discussions related to mechanical engineering, energy systems, and creating a more sustainable future.
