The University of Texas at Dallas has announced its 11th annual series of lectures from the Center for U.S.-Mexico Studies starting tonight (Sept. 22, 2011) and occurring intermittently until March 2012. Of special interest to me are the lectures on nanotechnology. More information can be found on the lecture series page,
“The Nanotechnology Business Incubator of Nuevo Leon”
Dr. Francisco Servando Aguirre-TostadoThe University of Texas at Dallas,
Natural Science and Engineering Research Lab (RL) 3.204
Nov. 4, 10.30 a.m.F. Servando Aguirre-Tostado is director of the Nanotechnology Incubator of Nuevo Leon, Mexico, and professor at CIMAV-Monterrey. After his postdoctoral training with the Electronic Materials Group at UT Dallas, he occupied a research scientist position to develop more stable and efficient semiconductor interfaces for next generation integrated circuits. Servando Aguirre is author and co-author of more than 30 research papers and is participating in more than 20 projects related to nanotechnology product development.
“Nanotechnology Applications in Nano, Micro and Macro-electronic Devices” Dr. Manuel Quevedo
- Research Center for Advanced Materials (CIMAV), Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, Nov. 24
- Hermosillo, Sonora, Dec. 16
Manuel Quevedo-Lopez received his doctorate in Materials Science from the University of North Texas. In 2002, he joined the Texas Instruments Silicon Technology Development Group as a Member of Technical Staff (MTS). In 2007, he joined UT Dallas as a senior research scientist, and in 2008 he was appointed research professor at the Materials Science and Engineering Department in the Erik Jonsson School of Engineering and Computer Science. His interests include materials and integration issues for flexible electronics, including organic and inorganic-based devices
It’s very gutsy of the institutions and the academics to do this in light of the professors in Mexico who were injured in bombing incidents that took place in early August 2011 (my Nanotechnology terrorism in Mexico? posting).
