NanoWIE – Women in Science: Nanotechnology is a two-day virtual event organized by IEEE Women in Engineering (WIE) Yachay Tech to inspire students interested in nanotechnology and research careers. The event brings together six women researchers and Yachay Tech graduates currently studying or working abroad, who will share their academic journeys, PhD opportunities, international experiences, research areas, and professional development.
Day 1 will feature international speakers presenting in English about PhD opportunities and research experiences in Spain, Mexico, and Germany. Day 2 will feature Yachay Tech graduates presenting in Spanish about their experiences pursuing graduate studies and professional careers abroad. Each session includes a technical presentation followed by a live Q&A, allowing participants to interact directly with the speakers. The event aims to motivate undergraduate students to pursue graduate studies, international collaborations, and careers in nanotechnology and STEM.
