Overview

Marcos Velasco is affiliated with the Mexican Social Security Institute in Mexico. Their research spans multiple disciplines primarily within Psychology, with a focus on Social Psychology, Developmental and Educational Psychology, as well as interdisciplinary areas such as Sociology and Political Science, Biophysics, and Organic Chemistry.

The scientist's work covers several main topics, including:

  • Health, Education, and Physical Culture
  • Children's Physical and Motor Development
  • Inclusion and Disability in Education and Sport
  • Electron Spin Resonance Studies
  • Oxidative Organic Chemistry Reactions
  • Analytical Chemistry and Sensors

Marcos Velasco has contributed to research published in notable venues, including:

  • Revista Científica de Innovación Educativa y Sociedad Actual "ALCON"
  • The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering

Two recent papers reflect the diversity of their research interests. The first, published in 2025 in Revista Científica de Innovación Educativa y Sociedad Actual "ALCON," is titled Habilidades motrices para niños con discapacidad intelectual en educación básica. This work relates to motor skills development for children with intellectual disabilities in basic education.

The second paper, also from 2025, appears in The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering and is titled Synthesis and characterization of amphiphilic nitroxide 1,1,3,3-tetraethylisoindoline-2-oxyl-5-sodium sulfonate (TEIOSNa). This publication addresses topics in organic chemistry and materials science, specifically the synthesis and analysis of specialized chemical compounds.

Collaborations form a key component of Velasco's research, with frequent co-authors including:

  • Kerly Aracely Zurita Montero
  • Orlanda Virmania Nabas Almendariz
  • Lady Aracely Galeas Zurita
  • Enrique García-Leal
  • René O. Vargas

The interdisciplinary nature of Velasco's work bridges educational and developmental psychology with chemical engineering and biophysics, reflecting an integrative approach to problem-solving and research.
