Sergio Vergara Limon Ph.D.
In the last years there were developed research works that had a direct application developed diverse instruments and cards for different applications. The acquired experience taking part in the system development of automation and shot to calibrate detectors of particles of high energy, systems of communications, systems of acquisition of information, control systems, etc. has allowed Dr. Vergara to collaborate with investigators of diverse areas like Control, Automation, Physics, Electronics, Optoelectronics, among others, due to the multidisciplinary nature required in the development of this type of technology. The aforementioned systems have been designed and built with state-of-the-art technology allowing our collaborators to conduct experiments and frontier investigations. He has a recognition of National System Researcher level 1
Dr. Vergara has established itself in the area of instrumentation for high energy particle physics, having a strong collaboration with the European Centre for nuclear research CERN belonging to ALICE Collaboration. ALICE is a large ion Collider experiment part of the program of the LHC (Large Hadron Collider) at CERN in Switzerland. The ALICE detector has been especially designed to analyze a particular State of matter called plasma of quarks and gluons, believed existed just after the creation of the universe. Its main activity within this important branch of science is designing and implementing electronics for particle detectors, such as the case of the detector called TPC (Time Proyection Chamber) which is the main sensor in the experiment, is composed of multiple detectors called GEM. A GEM (gas electron multiplier) is made of a plate (50 microns) of laminated Kapton, a coating of copper on each side, perforated surface, each serving as a channel of multiplication of electrons. It is required to develop a circuit program that serves to monitor each channel of the GEMs to register variations of the detector current. It was designed a digital ammeter that resist high voltage since it has to be connected in series with the high voltage source and the GEM tool. As a significant result of this collaboration have been published 20 articles indexed in the year 2014, 25 articles indexed in the year 2015, 12 articles indexed in 2016 and 13 articles indexed in 2017. Collaborating with the most important detector of the ALICE experiment has allowed to be part of the collaboration, obtained in four years 70 articles indexed in the JCR. Also in 2014 was created a thematic network CONACYT named Mexican network scientific and technological for LHC ALICE and he is responsible for the advanced electronics laboratory. Since this important international collaboration requires very specialized electronics and automation instrumentation design, the experience that has left him to be part of it has generated have 5 titles of patents. Under Dr. Vergara advice have been entitled 34 students at the master's level and one student on doctoral level. He boasts the distinction of PRODEP profile for 6 years, which gives the SEP, likewise belong to a group academic research recognized by SEP that has the major distinction and he is the researcher responsible of the group. He has participated with presentations at international congresses in automation, mechatronics, robotics and control, as they are the lines of research that are related to the master's program to which he belong and it is a direct application due to the experience of develop technology for the European Centre for nuclear research CERN, everything applies in the development of master's thesis troubleshooting and triggering in the approval of patents.
Dr. Vergara skills includes: research, design and instrumentation of electronic systems and automation of processes for their application in various fields, both scientific and technological, contemplating the theoretical-practical modeling of systems electronics applied to robotics, high energy particle physics, quantum optics, health and other technological-science areas, in addition to the development and instrumentation of control, electronic and mechanical elements for process automation.
