COURSES & REPRESENTATIVE PROJECTS

Electron Microscopy
SEM-EDX characterization of the thermal interface material in a microprocessor
The thickness and the chemical composition of a thermal interface material from an Intel Pentium IV
microprocessor were characterized using SEM-EDX technique.
A brief description of how to use SEM, TEM and AFM microscopes
An explanation of SEM, TEM and AFM methods was given in terms of their physical principle, sample
preparation and equipment.
Metal Alloy Technology
Artificial aging of aluminum 2024-T6
The artificial aging of aluminum 2024-T6 samples was carried out with a heat treatment at constant
temperature, and a relationship between hardness and aged time was obtained.
Modeling & Simulation
Simulation of a hip prosthesis in COMSOL Multiphysics
The effect of mechanical stress was simulated on a hip prosthesis, modeled from a real one, using Comsol
Multiphysics. Additionally, design improvements were proposed to decrease such phenomena.
Polymer Technology
Five-layer coextrusion of different barrier packaging
A mathematical study of 5-layer coextrusion process was performed for Yanber.S.A. in terms of the
polymers barrier properties to oxygen and moisture.
Reliability Engineering
Determination of the manufacturing process reliability of oil transmission pipes
The reliability for short oil transmission pipes from HAP company was evaluated in terms of their
manufacturing process.

Thin-Films and Semiconductor Processing

Effect of deposition time and temperature on a Au-Pd thin-film deposited on a glass substrate
Gold-palladium thin films on glass substrates were heat treated and coalescence phenomena was studied
as a function of the temperature and deposition time.
X-Ray Diffraction and Thermal Analysis
Thermal analysis of cerium oxide nanoparticles dispersed in water
Thermal behavior of a cerium oxide nanoparticles solution, prepared via sol-gel method, was analyzed
through DSC and TGA techniques.
