Ashley Martinez – NSF GRFP Fellow
As an undergraduate at NAU, Ashley Martinez took a chance and reached out to a faculty member who looked like her. A few years later, she’s thriving as a graduate researcher whose work could contribute to more effective and sustainable drugs, better vaccines and more. Martinez’s work continues thanks to the National Science Foundation’s Graduate […]
What’s new in ¡MIRA!
For decades, investments have been made toward increasing the diversity of STEM students and professionals through education, outreach, and other strategies. Unfortunately, these efforts have not resulted in degrees attained or professional workforces that reflect the demographics of our nation, southwest region, or state. ¡MIRA! was created as a disruptive force in STEM, removing barriers […]
Using the Force: Force microscopy research nets Ph.D. student a scholarship—and a job—with DOD
¡MIRA! PhD student Jorge Muñoz receives DoD Fellowship! From the article: “Muñoz’s research is focused on using a type of microscope, called an Atomic Force Microscope (AFM), to measure materials properties with extremely high-resolution. The approaches he is utilizing and developing allow him to interrogate a variety of materials ranging from artificial aneurysm models to […]
¡MIRA! Students and Professors use the “weird” in quantum computing to answer hard questions

Ph.D. students Jaime Diaz and Taylor Begay-Wilson worked on a project in Bertrand Cambou’s class […]
Cambou receives award from Intel Corportation to look at protecting the mass memory of the IOT with on-demand generation of session keys.
In one of the first major collaborations of its kind between Intel Corporation and NAU, Dr. Bertrand Cambou successfully obtained funding to support a research project aimed at the development, and validation, of practical schemes targeting the weaker link of the industrial IoT solutions requiring high tamper resistance. As a part of this research funding, […]
