Leticia Corral

Biography

Leticia Corral was born in Cd. Cuauhtémoc (Chihuahua), north of Mexico. She is an Industrial Chemical Engineer graduated from the Technological Institute of Chihuahua; Master in Mathematics by the CINVESTAV Mexico; PhD in Materials Science by the Centro de Investigación en Materiales Avanzados (CIMAV) Unit Chihuahua and has a Post-Doctoral stay in Materials Science by CIMAV Unit Monterrey. She is a professor at the Tecnológico Nacional de México/Instituto Tecnológico de Ciudad Cuauhtémoc where she is a Career Research Professor Titular "C" of Higher Education. Currently studying astrophysics, in particular, the mathematics of the Einstein's General Relativity Theory, Black Holes Theory and Wormholes, the origin of the Universe and Sir Roger Penrose`s Cosmology. These studies are performed at the Valencian International University by the Master of Astronomy and Astrophysics degree.

Career

Leticia Corral started scientific research in the area of mathematics applying them in the classroom through evaluation of basic concepts for calculating by mathematical expressions that earned her an honorable mention by the Comité Latinoamericano de Matemática Educativa in 1997, followed by "La aritmética... un tabú para los estudiantes del nivel superior" in 1999 and "Fenómenos físicos implicados a través de las condiciones de frontera en las ecuaciones diferenciales parciales gobernantes" in 2000. Some of her lectures in the area of mathematics include: "Hacia una didáctica de la función error vinculo intrínseco del cálculo diferencial e integral y las ecuaciones diferenciales parciales. Interpretación gráfica", "Matemáticas ¿Para Qué? y "Modelos matemáticos en el contexto de las ciencias".

With the oral presentation of "Matemáticas Aplicadas a los Materiales", she entered in the Materials Science where she published one of the most important items of his doctorate in materials science and another co-authored article, papers presented at the School of Mechanical & Manufacturing Engineering in Dublin, Ireland, in 2003.

Another important contribution is the work presented at City University in London in 2005: ¨Modelling heat transfer in work rolls of a continuous hot strip mill. Part I¨, which was published as a chapter of the book: Mathematical Modelling: Education, Engineering and Economics-ICTMA 12.

In 2012 she presented in Istanbul, Turkey, a job performed with three generations of students of mechatronics in Cuauhtemoc Institute of Technology on "Diseño de un robot mecatrónico para dar terapia y remover tumores", by which the Government of the State of Chihuahua, the Instituto Chihuahuense de la Cultura, las Ciencias y las Artes y la Secretaría de Educación, Cultura y Deporte in Chihuahua awarded her the Premio Chihuahua 2013 Categoría Ciencias Tecnológicas.

But it wasn't until 2009, when she ventured into what she calls her passion: the world of astrophysics and cosmology, with the introduction of heat transfer into black holes in Rome, Italy, work for which the Scientific Committee of the 5th International Conference on diffusion in solids and liquids (DSL 2009): Professor Andreas Öchsner, gives the Joseph Fourier Award for outstanding contributions to the dissemination of solids and liquids. From 2009 to date, she has published several articles on the cosmic censorship of Sir Roger Penrose, energy transfer and fluid flow around a massive astrophysical object, the modeling of the structure of wormholes, among others, works that she has presented through lectures in Paris France, Madrid Spain, and Istanbul, Turkey.

In Paris, France, she delivered a lecture on his work "Transport Phenomena in an Evaporated Black Hole" which was published as a book chapter. In Vilamoura Algarve, Portugal in 2011 she presents two lectures, one on modeling of virtual particles of the Big Bang, and a model for the transfer of mass of the Higgs boson published in April 2012, work that should have been called "model to predict the mass of the Higgs boson" as it predicts with high accuracy the mass of the Higgs boson, value identical to that reported on July 4, 2012 (3 months after publication Corral model) by ATLAS and CMS experiments at the LHC of 125 GeV / c2, equivalent to 2.22875 x 10 −25 kg.

But it was not until 2016 that one of the works of astrophysics of Corral became more important when it is multi cited in social networks, which she presented at the Imperial College in London on July 2, 2015, on a model to predict "very special low" entropy at the Big Bang with relativistic equations, disagreeing with the classical phase-space volume of Stephen Hawking`s box, who Corral mentioned that he did not take into account the asymmetrical component time to measure the especially low entropy in the Big Bang singularity (which Hawking described as the singularity by collapse to a black hole), and instead matches with the Weyl Curvature Hypothesis of Sir Roger Penrose, who indeed takes into account the asymmetry of time in the discussion.
