ED Mexico City – by Professor Rodolfo Quintero

E. Fred Schubert, IEEE Distinguished Lecturer and professor of the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, lectured on optoelectronics in Mexico City, on January 13, 2006. The one day event consisted of a morning 3-hour short course "Light-Emitting Diodes and Solid-State Lighting", and an afternoon conference entitled "Innovations in Light-Emitting Devices". The event, hosted by CINVESTAV, an important post-graduate university in Mexico, attracted an audience of 135 students and professors not only from CINVESTAV, but from other universities, one of them as far as 400 km from Mexico City. Our chapter thanks Professor Schubert, the IEEE Electron Devices Society and CINVESTAV, for helping us to make this event possible.
