M.Sc. Lucía Daniela Garza García
Studies
- Ph.D. in Biotechnology, Tecnológico de Monterrey, Campus Monterrey, Mexico (01/2008-present).
- Master in Science with Specialty in Quality and Productivity Systems, Tecnológico de Monterrey, Campus Monterrey, Mexico
- Chemical Engineer, Tecnológico de Monterrey, Campus Monterrey, Mexico
Professional Activity
After completing her degree in Chemical Engineering she worked in DeAcero Planta Monterrey as a training
manager in the Quality Department. Afterwards she began a master's degree
at Tec de Monterrey, working as a project assistant in the Department of
Industrial Engineering. Later she served as a professor in the same university
at the Departments of Industrial Engineering and Industrial Design. In the
first department she was the project coordinator of students in ninth semester,
who worked in companies of various branches. These projects were carried
out during the academic year, resolving any areas of opportunity presented
in the company. Moreover, in the Department of Industrial Design she taught
the courses Ergonomics I and Ergonomics II to students in fourth and fifth
semester respectively. She is currently a doctoral student in Engineering
Science with speciality in Biotechnology at Tecnológico de Monterrey
(Campus Monterrey).
