mentioned Salvador E. Venegas-Andraca as one of the main reasons to take the workshop in micro and nano fabrication, that was held during the first week of April. The high scientific level of the workshop allowed the interaction with MTL researchers. “I contacted Professor Dirk Englund, leader of the research group in quantum photonic at the MTL. Immediately we found topics of joint interest,” said Venegas. Thanks to the workshop, he and the group members are now studying together a nano-photonic processor. This experimental experience would be incorporated into his theoretical work, with aims to understand more precisely the quantum effects in nanotechnology.
The collaboration agreement with the MIT has open doors for researchers, in a way that they can extend the scope of their work. The most recent effort was the micro and nano fabrication workshop. “I liked the instructors’ openness, especially when they resolved our doubts. I was also interested in the equipment and processes,” said Ernesto Rodriguez, Robotics researcher, whose work topic is the development of manipulators for various applications.

Researcher Wants to Share his Passion for Nanoscience with Students
Jorge Luis Cholula shares his experience in the MTL laboratories
With over a decade of doing research in this field, Jorge Luis Cholula took advantage of his visit to MTL to monitor their equipment and exchange research ideas. “The variety and concentration of the facilities and equipment is wonderful for the production and characterization of micro and nano scale materials,” said Jorge Luis Cholula who was able to use instruments such as SEM, AFM, profilometers, and 4-point probes method. The workshop is a seed for joint research and the proposal of using the labs from both universities.
The experience that I had at the MIT has a huge potential to be “ transmitted to undergraduate and graduate students. I can use this
knowledge in the course of ‘Experimental characterization of materials and nano materials’ where I’m tenure lecturer

When Barbara Arevalo, PhD student of Science of Engineering received the call for applications she realized that the workshop’s topic matched with her research project, in specific the work conducted by Dr. Evelyn Wang team. The workshop’s dynamic was practical, which facilitated the acquisition of technical knowledge, use of high technology equipment and the development of micro and nano systems. “The former were valuable elements, because I was given tools of judgement in order to structure my research proposal and work plan” mentioned Arevalo.
