Annual Report
INTRODUCTION

Vision and goals
In October 18th 2012, the IPN SPIE Student Chapter was established, after two years the name was
changed to IPN – Azcapotzalco SPIE Student Chapter in order to allow other IPN branches to form
their own chapters.
Most of our members are PhD and Master Students from the Centro de Investigación e Innovación
Tecnológica (CIITEC – Azcapotzalco) in Mexico City. The other members are postgraduates and
undergraduates from Escuela Superior de Ingeniería Mécanica y Eléctrica (ESIME – Azcapotzalco
and ESIME - Zacatenco), and Universidad Autónoma del Carmen (UNACAR).
Our objective is to keep together the student community from IPN – Azcapotzalco and UNACAR
who are interested in image processing, optics and photonics research fields. Our activities are
categorised into two groups:
Social and networking activities.
Educational activities.
Student Chapter members
Committee members are elected at the beginning of this year. The current committee members

This event was organized by the supervisor of the IPN – Azcapotzalco Student Chapter in order to
create a contact with the company Test Technology. Test Technology is specialized to provide test
and measurements devices to the industry or universities. The company provided a short talk to
explain some optical devices which can be useful to develop the different projects in the Student
Chapter.

Twice a month (2015): Tea Time.
Tea time is a social event organized by the student chapter where chapter members and students
from other fields are invited to give a short talk regarding their scientific working and then to
enjoy some snacks and beverages. This is a great opportunity to interact with other departments
in order to create future collaborations, and it is also a great opportunity to invite those students
to join our chapter.

(CISMe 2015) and The National Week of Science and Technology.
At the conference there was talk of the various research topics of the SPIE chapter members,
emphasizing the work done by the research group working with tapered fiber, encouraging the
interplay of both study areas, tapered optical fibers and mechatronics, noting the great
intervention of mechatronics in the field of tapers.
