New faces at MCN
The Melbourne Centre for Nanofabrication Centre has welcomed two new staff members to its ranks in the past few months, with Tatiana Pineda Rivera and Hazem Abdelmaksoud joining the team.
Tatiana has recently joined our lithography and characterisation team of process engineers. Having moved from Mexico to France to study, received her PhD in 2009 from the Université Grenoble Alpes, where she specialised in surface and colloid science and microfluidics. In 2011, Tatiana came to Australia to join Professor Paul Mulvaney’s Nanoscience Laboratory at the University of Melbourne.
Hazem has taken up a joint role, working with both the MCN and MCN Tech Ambassador, Victor Cadarso. At MCN, Hazem is responsible for wet etching benches in the cleanroom and leading biochemistry lab inductions for users.
Work with MCN via BioMedVic
Biomedical Research Victoria (BioMedVic) is currently seeking new projects for its Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program (UROP) that introduces high achieving undergraduates to the world of research by providing hands-on experience of working in a lab.
Within the program, research organisations and industry partners engage with undergraduate students via BioMedVic to realise 6 or 12-month research projects. BioMedVic identifies and matches undergraduate applicants that best suit the supervisor’s requirements.
Supervisors are invited to submit applications to host students in their laboratories through the UROP scheme. UROP is a paid employment program and entry into the scheme by students is highly competitive.
Contact BioMedVic to find out more.
