Aida Yoguely Cortés-Peña is an undergraduate student at the Georgia Institute of Technology in the school of Mechanical Engineering.
Background
Aida Yoguely was born in Aguadilla, Puerto Rico. where she often travel to her parents' homeland Tunja, Boyaca Colombia. She completed elementary school at the Antonio Gonzáles Suarez Bilingual School, Añasco P.R. Later, she attended the Sergio Ramírez de Arellano Hostos Bilingual School while studying at the the Ernesto Ramos Antonini Music School in Mayagüez, were she played the electric bass in the band and sang in the chorus. Then she was admited into the "Centro Residencial de Oportunidades Educativas de Mayaguez" (C.R.O.E.M.) top high school in Puerto Rico, specialized in Math and Science. She completed her senior year at Lakeside High School, in Atlanta, Georgia. Currently, she is working towards earning bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering at Georgia Institute of Technology.
Research Interest
Aida Yoguely is currently performing research in the processing of high quality PZT and other ferroelectric thin films, and their dielectric and piezoelectric characterization for their integration in high performance micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) as sensors and actuators.
