Through my work at SURF, I have developed extensive research experience, which includes critical review and analysis of climate change policy and case studies of energy efficiency initiatives. Examples of my research include the Innovation Involving Hydrogen Energy, Urban Ecological Security, UK Energy Efficiency Intermediary Activity, Cities and Climate Change, and political economy of knowledge production. |
Juansethi Ibarra - Medina |
PhD in Mechanical Engineering |
| I am currently studying a PhD in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Manchester, working in the field of laser material processing since 2009. My research deals with the modelling of the laser cladding process. I received an MSc (Eng) in Product Design from the University of Liverpool, UK. During this time, I acquired my interest for the fascinating processes of rapid manufacturing. I obtained my first degree in Industrial Engineering (distinction awarded) from the Instituto Tecnológico de Aguascalientes, Mexico. Before moving to the UK, I worked as a mould designer for Roi Castings S.A., an iron-castings company, and as a mechanical designer for Moto Diesel Mexicana S.A., an automotive company. Previously, I worked as production trainee at Texas Instruments (now Sensata Technologies S de RL). |
