Alicia Baca Alicia Baca received her B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from the University of New Mexico (Albuquerque, NM) in the fall of 2007. While studying at UNM, she also worked at Sandia National Laboratories for two and a half years as a technical intern in the MEMS Packaging department, which is what sparked her interest in MEMS technology. While at CU, she will continue to intern for Sandia via telecommunication. Also during her undergraduate career, she was also part of a research team, funded by NASA, which researched the efficiency of using electrolysis to obtain fuel cells. They performed an experiment at 1-G and microgravity conditions that quantified and qualified the effects of gravity on the surface tension forces applied to bubbles as they formed on electrodes during electrolysis. Ms. Baca joined Professor Victor Bright’s team in the spring 2008 semester and will be working with Joseph Brown on the development of a MEMS test structure for the testing of nanowires and carbon nanotubes. Her research is centered around nanowire placement and nanowire bonding. She is currently studying and experimenting with two methods for accomplishing this task, while also working on some of her own design work. She is currently working on her M.S. in Mechanical Engineering with a focus on Microelectronics and Nanostructures. Research Project: |
