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.
