Engineers Find Electric Connection

When Farah Corona Chavez and Daniel Strauss met at the IEEE EMBS Conference in Cancun, Mexico, in 2003, they did not know it was to be a fateful moment in their lives and in fact did not even speak. Strauss, a native of Germany, and Corona, a native of Mexico, went their separate ways until 2005, when Strauss, who by then had completed his second Ph.D. degree, came to Mexico again as a visiting professor in the Biomedical Engineering Department of Mexico City?s Universidad Autonoma Metropolitana, where Corona was working on her master's degree. She was also working in the research laboratory of Innovamedica, which Strauss toured during his stay, and they talked about the project.
