LAIDEA UNAM
International Laboratory for Environmental Electronic Devices
and Climate Center
National Autonomous University of Mexico
in close and intensive cooperation with
and other international institutions.
Fostering the Bremen-Mexican Network for Sustainable Technology for Environmental Applications
LAIDEA's scope:
Development of sensors and electronic tools for the detection of environmental pollutants in air, water and soil, based mainly on thin film transistors (TFTs), nanomaterials and hybrid heterostructures
In collaboration with national and international partners experts in photovoltaics, semiconductor optics, atmospheric sciences, molecular dynamics, microscopy, microtechnology, electronic device simulation, microbiomics, polymers, geosciences, environmental education, and arts and design, all working jointly for this purpose.
The creation of LAIDEA UNAM in 2020 has been initially funded by:
Frontier Science CF19-263955
Study of the electronic interaction between toxic molecules in the environment and organic semiconductors and oxides to design sustainable food, air, and water sensors
UNAM PAPIIT TA101221
Start-up of the manufacturing process of low-cost environmental sensors based on semiconductor oxide thin film transistors (TFTs) for the detection of pollutants in water and air in the Morelia region.
