Give me a Lever and I will move the WORLD

​

Thank you for visiting our page, I welcome you to explore how we are changing the world one student at a time. We focus on providing attractive research projects to our students, particularly designing opportunities to UG students, offering them the opportunity to take advantage of it and drive an exciting educational/social/economic mobility experience. We creatively combine UG education with state-of-the-art innovative research projects. Our team has provided research opportunities to hundreds of students, all of them now leading successful careers in industry, academia or government labs. With full support from UG students our team has published >160 peer reviewed scientific journal articles and >400 proceedings/conference presentations. We co-founded a successful start-up which received several awards, such as the R&D 100, Silver Award at the World's Best Technology Showcase and several more, and have outreached to tens of thousands of K-16 students through summer camps, magic and science shows, Energy & U, and social media, all with one goal in mind preparing future innovators. 

I am beyond proud of ALL, our former, current, and future students! SI SE PUEDE!
