Joshua Conner
Undergraduate student - IRES Program

Josh was part of the second cohort of students that went to Brazil. He was in charge of "Measuring Activity of immobilized enzymes on MWCNT". He will now continue doing research in Biology and we hope to see him around the lab!

Jose Jurado
Undergraduate student - IRES Program

Jose also spent time in Sao Carlos the second summer. He worked on the project "Immobilization of ssDNA-SWCNT on Au in micro-chips surface in order to possibly detect serotonin in urinary samples" and did an excellent job!

The group dinner is getting bigger! Thanks to everyone for coming and bringing the family along!

Raju Khan
BOYSCAST Fellow

Raju worked in our lab as a BOYSCAST Fellow. He developed two biosensors based on CNT-electrodes. Good luck!

Gisela De La Garza
Graduate Student, PhD Program

Gisela joined our lab for almost a year. She worked on the detection of phenolic compounds by capillary electrophoresis. Unfortunately she left our program and now lives in Ohio. Good luck!!!

Ramon Coronado
MS Student, BME Program

Ramon worked in collaboration with our lab in a project aimed to improve the biocompatibility of PDMS surfaces. After graduation he will head to the UTHSCSA to work in a a very ambitious PhD project dealing with internal organs. All the best!

Robert Sarver
Undergrdaute student - IRES Program

Robert was part of the first group that visited USP. He worked with microfabrication, capillary electrophoresis, and C4D.

Joseph Barrios
Undergraduate student - IRES Program

Joe was part of the first group that visited USP under the IRES program. He worked with electrochemical detection and carbon nanotubes. Since then, he has continued working in the MEMS Research Lab.

Dr. M. Fernanda Silva
Visiting Scientist

Fer worked with us during the summer of 2010. She took over the ellipsometer and performed experiments to understand adsorption of proteins. She did an extraordinary job! We will miss her a lot!
