Ingrid Montes (born 1958), also known as Ingrid del Carmen Montes González is a full professor in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Puerto Rico, Río Piedras campus. She attained tenure in 1998.^[1] Her research focus is on chemical education and organometallic chemistry.^[2] Montes has been Director-at-large at the American Chemical Society (ACS) since 2013.^{[3] [4] [5] [6]} Montes founded the "Festival de Química" (Chemistry Festival) in 2005, this program was then adopted by the ACS in 2010.^[7]

Education

Montes completed her B.S. in chemistry at the University of Puerto Rico, Río Piedras campus in 1980 and Ph.D. in Organic Chemistry at the University of Puerto Rico, Río Piedras campus under the supervision of Gerald Larson in 1985.

Research

The Montes lab focuses on the synthesis and characterization of ferrocenyl compounds and chemistry education research.

Outreach contributions

Festival de Química (Chemistry Festival)

In 2005 Dr. Montes started the "Festival de Química" in Puerto Rico.^{[8] [9]} The "Festival de Quimica' is a community outreach program created to engage the general public through chemistry demonstrations and its relation to daily life. This program became an official ACS program in 2010. In 2016, the ACS festival training launched around the world. News Highlights of the event are listed below:

• Australia hosts the first Chemistry Festival (2017).^[10]
• Chemistry Festival was featured in TV Peru (2017).^[11]
• The ACS Malaysia International Chemical Sciences Chapter hosted a Festival Training Institute (2017).^[12]
• The Chemistry Festival Arrived to Beijing (2014).^[13]
• Puerto Rico local section celebrated the Chemistry Festival along with "Chemists celebrate Earth week (CCED)" and won the ChemLuminary Award for its involvement (2013).^{[14] [15]}
• Nurturing Chemistry Undergrads (2013).^[16]

Monumental periodic table build during the Chemistry Festival in Mexico (2011).^[17]
