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.
