Fernando's Story

Fernando Oliver Mediavilla interned at Centro de Investigación en Ciencia Aplicada y Tecnología Avanzada (CICATA) at the Laboratorio de Aprovechamiento de Energía, where he worked on blade-less wind turbines, redesigning the entire prototype with the intent of changing the degree of freedom from horizontal to vertical, using magnets to facilitate oscillations, and minimizing weight.

"I used the CAD, programming, and Arduino knowledge I gained at MIT over this year, and I continued to build upon them. My experience was great, everyone is very open, friendly, and amicable."

"I'm very proud of the prototype I designed for my project, and of all that I learned along the way. Living in Mexico was not only an amazing professional opportunity, but a great personal experience"
