Guanajuato, Gto., July 15, 2016.- The professor at the University of Guanajuato (UG), Ph.D. Humberto Maury Cuna works in constructing solutions to diverse problems through the particle accelerators.
A particle accelerator is a machine that increases the energy of these and transports them through a high speed trajectory, which is manipulated through magnets that make possible to define the direction they take.
Ph.D. Humberto comments that around 1% of the existing accelerators in the world are used in basic research, the 99% left is used in diverse areas such as automotive and food industry, also against cancer, through a non-invasive treatment and the solely attack the affected cells.
Ph.D. Maury Cuna studies a Ph.D. in the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) and together with three students of the Division of Science and Engineering from UG attended to the summer of the American School of Particle Accelerators (USPAS) to continue in the development of this topic.
Besides, with researchers involved in the area, they make collaboration works with the Universidad Autónoma de Sinaloa and with the Mexican Community of Particle Accelerators, presided by Ph.D. Christian Valero Lizárraga. Such association of young scientists pretends to boost the development of science and technology of the particle accelerators in the country.
It is important to mention that this Community organizes the Mexican School of Particle Accelerators once a year and has the purpose to train young students in engineering and physics in the area of accelerators, the next edition will be in January of the coming year.
In an interview, the professor at the Maximum House of Studies highlights that the particle accelerator is a tool that use the scientists to answer fundamental questions of the universe, but also it is a great tool to solve problems of diverse professions, because it optimizes and makes work agile with industrial, medical, environmental and national security applications.
Lastly, he invites all young engineers and physicists to enter this labor whose finality is to train highly specialized human capital in Mexico in the area of particle accelerators.
