==Research, fieldwork and museum exhibitions==
His research has focused primarily on the religion, politics, and art of pre-Hispanic societies in Central Mexico. His scholarship has contributed to our knowledge of indigenous strategies of recovering the distant past, the coded language of buried offerings, the functions and symbolism of sacred architecture, the uses and meanings of Mexica sculpture, the application of materials science to the study of pre-Hispanic art and artifacts, iconoclastic activities in times of crisis, mother goddess cults, and sacrificial practices, among other areas. He has also ventured into the history of Mexican archaeology, achieving significant advances in the study of its origins in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.
López Luján began working in archeological, anthropological, and historical projects when he was eight years old. He has participated in various scientific teams in the Mexican federal entities of [[Campeche]], [[Chiapas]], [[Mexican Federal District|Distrito Federal]], [[Guanajuato]], [[Estado de México]], [[Morelos]], and [[Quintana Roo]], and in [[Ecuador]].<ref name="acadmexhistoria1"/>
The year 1980 was especially significant in his career, for he began working at [[INAH]]’s [[Templo Mayor]] Project in the first (1978–1982) and second (1987) seasons of excavations in [[Tenochtitlan]]’s [[Templo Mayor#Sacred Precinct and surrounding buildings|sacred precinct]] under the direction of [[Eduardo Matos Moctezuma]]. Eleven years later, in 1991, he became the director of the project and currently occupies this position. In this way, he has led the fourth (1991–1992), fifth (1994–1997), sixth (2004–2006), seventh (2007–2014), and eighth (2014–) archaeological field seasons.<ref name="acadmexhistoria1"/><ref name="acadmexhistoria2"/>
As part of his research at the archaeological site of [[Teotihuacan]], he co-directed with [[William Fash|William L. Fash]] and [[Linda Manzanilla]] the Xalla Palace excavation project and also worked with Saburo Sugiyama and Rubén Cabrera on the [[Pyramid of the Moon]] Project.<ref name="acadmexhistoria1"/><ref name="acadmexhistoria2"/>
His own projects have been funded by [[INAH]], the [[University of Colorado at Boulder]], the [[University of Texas at Austin]], [[Princeton University]], and [[Harvard University]].<ref name="acadmexhistoria2"/>
With renowned colleagues he has curated major exhibitions, including "The Aztec World" at the [[Field Museum]] in [[Chicago]],<ref>{{cite web|url=http://archive.fieldmuseum.org/aztecs/curators_3.asp |title=The Aztec World | Exhibition Curators |publisher=Archive.fieldmuseum.org |date= |accessdate=2012-11-07}}</ref> "Moctezuma: Aztec Ruler" at the [[British Museum]] in [[London]],<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.britishmuseum.org/whats_on/exhibitions/moctezuma/events_programme/lectures_talks_and_debates.aspx |title=Lectures talks and debates |publisher=British Museum |date= |accessdate=2012-11-07}}</ref>

==Research, fieldwork and museum exhibitions==
His research has focused primarily on the religion, politics, and art of pre-Hispanic societies in Central Mexico. His scholarship has contributed to our knowledge of indigenous strategies of recovering the distant past, the coded language of buried offerings, the functions and symbolism of sacred architecture, the uses and meanings of Mexica sculpture, the application of materials science to the study of pre-Hispanic art and artifacts, iconoclastic activities in times of crisis, mother goddess cults, and sacrificial practices, among other areas. He has also ventured into the history of Mexican archaeology, achieving significant advances in the study of its origins in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.
López Luján began working in archeological, anthropological, and historical projects when he was eight years old. He has participated in various scientific teams in the Mexican federal entities of [[Campeche]], [[Chiapas]], [[Mexican Federal District|Distrito Federal]], [[Guanajuato]], [[Estado de México]], [[Morelos]], and [[Quintana Roo]], and in [[Ecuador]].<ref name="acadmexhistoria1"/>
The year 1980 was especially significant in his career, for he began working at [[INAH]]’s [[Templo Mayor]] Project in the first (1978–1982) and second (1987) seasons of excavations in [[Tenochtitlan]]’s [[Templo Mayor#Sacred Precinct and surrounding buildings|sacred precinct]] under the direction of [[Eduardo Matos Moctezuma]]. Eleven years later, in 1991, he became the director of the project and currently occupies this position. In this way, he has led the fourth (1991–1992), fifth (1994–1997), sixth (2004–2006), seventh (2007–2014), and eighth (2014–) archaeological field seasons.<ref name="acadmexhistoria1"/><ref name="acadmexhistoria2"/>
As part of his research at the archaeological site of [[Teotihuacan]], he co-directed with [[William Fash|William L. Fash]] and [[Linda Manzanilla]] the Xalla Palace excavation project and also worked with Saburo Sugiyama and Rubén Cabrera on the [[Pyramid of the Moon]] Project.<ref name="acadmexhistoria1"/><ref name="acadmexhistoria2"/>
His own projects have been funded by [[INAH]], the [[University of Colorado at Boulder]], the [[University of Texas at Austin]], [[Princeton University]], and [[Harvard University]].<ref name="acadmexhistoria2"/>
With renowned colleagues he has curated major exhibitions, including "The Aztec World" at the [[Field Museum]] in [[Chicago]],<ref>{{cite web|url=http://archive.fieldmuseum.org/aztecs/curators_3.asp |title=The Aztec World | Exhibition Curators |publisher=Archive.fieldmuseum.org |date= |accessdate=2012-11-07}}</ref> "Moctezuma: Aztec Ruler" at the [[British Museum]] in [[London]],<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.britishmuseum.org/whats_on/exhibitions/moctezuma/events_programme/lectures_talks_and_debates.aspx |title=Lectures talks and debates |publisher=British Museum |date= |accessdate=2012-11-07}}</ref>

== Sackler lecture controversy ==
On February 26th 2018, López Luján delivered the 4th Raymond and Beverly Sackler lecture at the MacDonald Institute in Cambridge UK ignoring widespread concerns that Sackler philanthropy represents social laundering of profits acquired from the misselling of opiates, which caused the current opiate crisis in North America.
