She started her PhD alongside Leonor Chico Gómez, currently working at the Universidad Complutense de Madrid.
Jorge Marqués, new doctor at the ICMM: "I feel I can contribute with novel ideas in my field"

"As I want to continue my scientific career, I will go do a postdoc (in Germany) to explore the emerging field of 3D nanomagnetism and gain international experience", he sais.
ICMM researchers eliminate microplastics from water with iron oxide nanoflowers

Research staff has developed a green and energy-efficient process to eliminate microplastics from cosmetics. The method removes contaminants from the water and degrade them until they disappear, which has great applications in waste treatment plants.

Researchers create a new method to increase the energy generated from seaweed

Bernd Wicklein, ICMM-CSIC, participates in a study that has combined conductive materials with a biopolymer present in seaweed to generate renewable energy that can be applied in nanodevices.
ICMM participates in a project to produce green hydrogen more efficiently and economically

The H2umidity technology incorporates advanced materials to develop an electrolyzer that improves energy efficiency and reduces the costs of hydrogen production.
Andrés Castellanos gets an ERC ‘Proof of Concept’ grant to revolutionize optical light applications

The project will revolutionize the spatial modulation of light, applicable in image projection and laser surgery. It will create ultrathin, flexible, and quasi-transparent devices that can be integrated into curved surfaces, such as smart lenses, or compact devices.
Zengxin Wei, new doctor: "I am motivated by the prospect of applying research discoveries to improve our daily lives in the future"

Manuel Vazquez Villalabeitia and David Navas Otero directed his work on the Influence of Layer Thickness on Exchange Coupled Ferromagnetic Bilayers separated by a Non-Magnetic Spacer
