Arizona State University and EIC Co-Organized Workshop
The collaboration between universities resulted in a successful academic event.
EIC and Arizona State University (ASU) researchers organized the “International Sensors, Signal Processing and Communications (ISSPC 2016) Workshop, Collaborative ASU SenSIP-ITESM Workshop.” The event was held on May, 24th and 25th in ASU facilities, located in Phoenix. The comprehensive program began with a plenary speech by Stephen Whalley. The topics of the four work sessions were: Data Analytics, Lozalization and Communications, Industry Relations and IP y Sensors, and Signal Processings. Researchers presented 30 posters, visited laboratories, and proposed research topics. Andreas Spanias, director and organizer of the workshop defined a series of future actions.

Student Projects Have a Significant Impact on the Industry
“
The students invested a lot of time to their projects. The company is impressed by the results, because they are tangible and have a great potential to be transferred into the industrial practice
”
The combination of an expert guidance with a local case study produced excellent results. Dominic Gorecky is a researcher from the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI). The case study was performed with the company Automated Data Systems (ADS). Prof. Gorecky's expertise and the selected case study produced excellent results. The topics were: “Assembly Process”, “Augmented Reality”, “Tracking and Tracing” and “Quality Control”. Students were enthusiastic of working with prof. Gorecky due to his expertise in ‘Industry 4.0’. After the students delivered an executive summary for EIC professors and an ADS representative, the practical project results were show on a live demonstration. "The final project was beneficial for our students." said Héctor Siller, EIC Professor. "Because they were able to work on real industry needs." "The students learned and applied the course concepts. The integration of their projects delivered a good result for the company." concluded Gorecky.
EIC Professor Presented “Industrial Technologies Days” in the European Commission a Human-Centric Vision of the Industry 4.0 David Romero, member of the research group on advanced manufacturing from the School of Engineering and Sciences, presented at the international event “Industrial Technologies Days” of the European Commission a vision for the “Operator 4.0” in the context of the Fourth Industrial Revolution or Industry 4.0. The Operator 4.0 is a smart and skilled operator that not only collaborates with robots, but also is aided in his/her cognitive, physical and sensorial capabilities by digital and industrial technologies in order to create socially sustainable environments in advanced production systems. The vision of the Operator 4.0 is to build trusting relationships between human and machines, making possible smarter as well as socially sustainable factories. Romero is recognized as the international researcher responsible for coining the term “Operator 4.0”. More information: http://goo.gl/ict5rk

Article Featured in the Cover of the American Journal of Physics revisited Young's experiment, which is “Wea classic, but using new technology and knowledge ”
The chosen paper for the cover was written by Benjamin Perez, PhD student (DTC), Raul Hernandez, EIC researcher, and David Grossman and Andrew Forbes researchers of the University of the Witwatersrand. The paper is also a highlighted article in June's issue.
American Journal of Physics editor chose the article "Optical interference with digital holograms." This was written by Benjamin Perez, student of the PhD in Information Technology and Communications (DTC) and Raul Hernandez, EIC researcher. "The focus of this paper is educational. Undergraduate and graduate students can replicate the experimental results" said Perez. The idea of revisiting the light interference topic was born in a research stay. Benjamin Perez worked in this project with Prof. Andrew Forbes from University of the Witwatersrand, in South Africa. The researchers ask themselves if it was possible to observe interference in polarity. The interference is a fundamental property of optics. By gaining comprehension of the phenomena is possible to find applications. "Students can do many experiments using a computer and digital holography" mentioned Hernandez.
