Elmer M. Cervantes-Ramírez is a researcher and graduate scholar at the Tecnológico Nacional de México with expertise in thermal coatings, phase change materials (PCMs), and sustainable construction materials. His research focuses on the stabilization and performance enhancement of eutectic salt–based PCMs for improved thermal energy storage and building efficiency. He has contributed to the development of thermal mortars and coatings incorporating recycled polyurethane foam as a partial replacement for conventional aggregates. These studies emphasize waste valorization and energy-efficient building envelope solutions. Earlier work also includes experimental evaluation of mechanical properties of natural materials, reflecting a strong background in materials characterization. His research integrates thermal performance, sustainability, and practical applications in civil engineering.
