Nanotechnology Engineering, Tec de Monterrey

I take science to where it gets used.

I'm Ari Emilio Núñez, a Nanotechnology Engineering student at Tec de Monterrey. I've worked in a materials lab, a multinational, and the aerospace industry, and I founded two technology companies. Alongside that: seven years in student organizations, a science podcast, and today a seat in the School of Engineering and Sciences Senate.
