Garin Escorcia Ariza

Mechatronic Engineer and Ph. D. in Nanotechnology

Who I am ?

A career as Mechatronic engineer and Researcher I had the opportunity to work as an assistant in the maintenance area of a factory. In addition, the opportunity to work on the research field as Ph. D. researcher while I was doing my Doctorate in Nanoscience and Nanotechnology at ICMol (Centro de Excelencia MdM).

My industrial and scientific background means that I comprehend the benefits of both areas allowing me to know their state of art to create global solutions combining them. During these years, I have acquired a great variety of knowledge for the design of electro- mechanical tools for the industry, nanoscience and molecular nanotechnology. I am also capable of designing software programs to control these tools. Moreover, I participate actively and lead technology presentations at scientific and industrial events.

RESEARCH COLLABORATOR

Fundación CEAM - Paterna, Spain

Developing a Cavity Enhanced Absorption Spectroscopy (CEAS) system to measure the interaction of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) on the atmosphere.

My main tasks are:

  • Developing a Graphical User Interface (GUI) through Matlab.

  • Testing the system making sure it has the best possible response.

  • Designing parts to ensure the correct operation of the equipment.

  • Running simulations to predict equipment performance and check it with reality.

PH. D. RESEARCHER

University of Valencia - ICMol - Valencia, Spain

Engineering new tools for automating the fabrication of molecular thin films and studying their electrical properties. Finding new ways of using old equipment like Quartz Crystal Microbalance (QCM). Technical support to develop new tools or upgrade old ones.

My main tasks were to absorb the ideas of Carlos Martí’s group (Functional Inorganic Materials - FUNIMAT) and Eugenio Coronado’s group (Research Team of Molecular Materials - RTMM) and transforming it on equipment capable to accomplish the tasks required. Working with them I had to do the following tasks:

  • Design of mechanical pieces using CAD tools like SolidWorks

  • Designing electronic circuits

  • Programming of PLC and microcontroller like Arduino

  • Commissioning equipment under my charge

  • Leading teamwork related to the previous items

  • Sharing my knowledge to the team of both research groups
