Agustin Gonzalez Flores received his BS with honors in 1973 and his MS with honors in 1977, both from Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico where his advisor was Eduardo Pina. In 1981 he received his Ph D in physics from Boston University where his thesis advisor was H.Eugene Stanley. From 1974 to 1977 he was assistant professor at the Universidad Autonoma Metropolitana-Azcapozalco. In 1981-82 he was adjunct assistant professor in the Depatment of Physics, UCLA. He spent a year (1982-83) as visiting research scientist at the institute for Theoretical Physics, University of California at Santa Barbara. In 1983 he joins his present institution, the Institute of Physics of the National University of Mexico, and is promoted to associate professor in 1993. In 1984 he was distinguished with one award Investigador Nacional(Mexico). In 1985 he entered the Mexican Academy of Sciences.
His research interests are in the general area of Thermodynamics and Statistical Mechanics: non-equibilirium thermodynamics, magnetic models in lattices, percolation, renormalization group, theory of liquids. In the general area of polymer physics he is interested in synthesis and characterization of polymers, physical chemistry of polymers, polymer gelation, and polymer rheology. Recently he has become interested in computer simulations using high performance supercomputing.
Agustin Gonzales has co-organized three conferences: 1985- First Brazilian-French-Mexican Workshop in Statistical Mechanics, Mexico City, 2-13 September 1988-XVII Winter Oaxtepec Conference in Statistical Physics, January 5-8, Oaxtepec, Mexico. 1989-XVIII Winter Oaxtepec Conference in Statistical Physics, January 4-7, Oaxtepec, Mexico.
At Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico he is mainly dedicated to research activities besides being responsible for teaching several courses: Thermodynamics, Polymer Physics, Physical Chemistry of Polymers, and Thermal Engineering. He is the advisor of a master student in physics. He has 23 publications and he has edited two books (with C. Varea and M. Medina Noyola) corresponding to the Proceedings of the Winter Oaxtepec Conference in Statistical Physics. He serves as reviewer to two Mexican scientific journals. He is a member of the American Physical Society, American Chemical Society, Mexican Physical Society and Mexican Academy of Sciences.
