Corral is a research professor at the
National Technological Institute of Mexico and the Institute of Technology of Ciudad Cuauhtémoc. Her current research focuses on
astrophysics, particularly the mathematics of
general relativity,
black holes and
wormholes, the
origins of the universe, and Sir
Roger Penrose's theories of
cosmology. She presented a paper titled "Matemáticas Aplicadas a los Materiales" at the School of Mechanical & Manufacturing Engineering in
Dublin in 2003, and "Modelling heat transfer in work rolls of a continuous hot strip mill, Part I" in 2005 at
City, University of London. The latter was published as a chapter of the book
Mathematical Modelling: Education, Engineering and Economics. In
Istanbul in 2012, she presented research conducted with three generations of
mechatronics students at the Institute of Technology of Ciudad Cuauhtémoc, titled "Diseño de un robot mecatrónico para dar terapia y remover tumores". She received the 2013 Chihuahua Award in Technological Sciences for this work. In 2009, the Scientific Committee of the 5th International Conference on Diffusion in Solids and Liquids gave her the
Joseph Fourier Award for her research on
heat transfer into black holes. Since then, she has published several articles on Penrose's
cosmic censorship hypothesis; on energy transfer and fluid flow around massive astrophysical objects; and on modelling the structure of wormholes,
virtual particles from the
Big Bang, and mass transfer in the
Higgs boson. Her research on the Higgs boson, which she presented in
Vilamoura, Portugal, in 2011, predicted with high accuracy the mass of the Higgs boson. Her prediction was identical to the value later reported on July 4, 2012, by the
ATLAS and
CMS experiments at the
Large Hadron Collider. At
Imperial College London on July 2, 2015, Corral presented a model that, using
relativistic equations, predicted very low
entropy at the Big Bang. Her theory disagreed with the
phase-space volume posited by
Stephen Hawking, who, Corral said, did not take into account the
asymmetrical component of time when calculating the entropy in the Big Bang
singularity, that work was not published in a specialized scientific journal nor peer reviewed. However, it matched Penrose's
Weyl curvature hypothesis, which does take that into account. As such, she is a supporter of the
cyclic model of the Universe, in which the initial conditions match the final ones. However there's not any academic paper published by her on a Astrophysics journal, also the claimed scientific achievements are not supported or recognized by the scientific community. == Awards ==
