Mauricio Fernandez

Mauricio Fernandez was born in Granada, Spain.  He spent the first five years of his life in Kinshasa, today’s Democratic Republic of the Congo, and then his family moved to Palma de Mallorca, a little island off the coast of Spain, in the Mediterranean Sea. He attended the University of Maine, where he obtained his Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering.  As a graduate student at UMaine’s Hybrid Structures Laboratory he focused his research on the response to environmental effects of hybrid metal to Eglass/Vinylester composite bolted joints. His professional career includes becoming a member of the engineering group responsible for all aspects of the operation of the now disappeared Harvard Cyclotron Laboratory.  Today he provides engineering support to all process lines of the Harvard Institute of Proteomics.
