TEXT
Writing forms part of a practice investigating how body, matter, perception, memory, time and agency participate in the emergence of form.
Across essays, books, scientific publications and critical perspectives, writing gives materially and perceptually produced knowledge a public form—one that can be read, questioned and carried into other contexts.
Publications appear under Daniel Romero Nieto, D. Romero-Nieto and DARONI.

CURRENT WRITING
Books, essays and research articles currently in development.
PERCEPCIÓN ENCARNADA
2026 · BOOK IN DEVELOPMENT
Foundational Research Book Percepción Encarnada
Daniel Romero Nieto
Develops "Percepción Encarnada" as an artistic research framework for examining how body, matter, perception, memory, time, environment and agency participate in the emergence of form.
ARTICLE FROM THE 2026
MASTER'S RESEARCH
2026 · ARTICLE IN PREPARATION
Artistic Research · Neurodivergence · Creative Process
Daniel Romero Nieto
Develops a publishable argument from the 2026 master's research on creative processes in contemporary artists with ADHD, focusing on neurodivergence, attention, creative process and perceptual architectures.
MORPHOGENESIS
2026 · ESSAY IN DEVELOPMENT
Research / Curatorial Essay
Daniel Romero Nieto
Returns to MORPHOGENESIS from the present, examining how material transfer, reflective return and the artwork as evidence reorganize the historical project without rewriting its original context.

MATERIALS / ARCHITECTURE
Composite nanomaterials applied to architecture: rigid polyurethane foam nanocompound.
Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México
Master's Degree in Civil Engineering
Daniel Romero Nieto
An experimental and applied investigation connecting nanoscale material properties with construction and architectural applications. It documents an early inquiry into how transformations occurring at one scale can generate effects at another.
2010 · DOCTORAL DISSERTATION
THEORETICAL PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY
Theoretical study of the superelectrophilic activation of aldehydes and ketones with multiple protonation sites, with implications for polymer synthesis.
Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México
Doctorate in Engineering · Chemical Engineering
Institute for Materials Research
Daniel Romero Nieto
A theoretical investigation into molecular reactivity, protonation states and polymer-forming mechanisms through electronic-structure calculations, deepening an attention to interaction, energy, transition and transformation.
2026 · MASTER'S THESIS
ARTISTIC RESEARCH
Creative processes in contemporary artists with ADHD: comparative analysis and foundations for an artistic support proposal
Universidad Internacional de La Rioja
Master's Degree in Artistic Project Production
Director: Rebeca Pardo Sainz
Daniel Romero Nieto
A study of creative processes through neurodivergence, attention and artistic research. The thesis approaches creative practice as a perceptual architecture shaped by body, materiality, environment, rhythm and continuity.

A methodological genealogy across scales
Research themes across peer-reviewed work and scientific publications.
Scientific research constitutes one layer of a broader methodological genealogy concerned with matter, systems, interfaces, scale, transformation and emergence.
