Hi, My name is Agustín Mihi, I just joined ICMAB to investigate photonic architectures in emerging optoelectronic devices (solar cells, sensors, etc.) in collaboration with the group of Nanopto. Since I read my thesis in 2008 at the University of Sevilla, I have been to the University of Illinois, ICFO, the URV and finally here! I enjoy travelling, going to the movies, reading,...

Hi! 

My name is Carlos Pintado, I'm a Spanish student and I've just finished my A level studies. This year I'm going to start the Biology degree at UAB. 

During my last course I did a research project for high school at analitical chemistry department (UAB) and I won an award: spend one or two weeks in a research group. That's the reason I'm in NANOMOL group during this summer under supervising of their members. I'm learing and watching their current job with nanomaterials and I found it fascinating!

I hope see you around!

Presentació de la nostra estada al programa Argó de la UAB a l' ICMAB

"Nanomedicina" és una paraula nova, però que cada vegada sentirem més. Es basa en l'administració de fàrmacs mitjançant unes partícules molt petites. Actuen directament sobre el lloc de l'organisme, de manera que són més eficaços. Amb aquest sistema, investigadors catalans han trobat una nova manera de tractar úlceres com les de l'anomenat "peu diabètic".

Good Morning everyone!

My name is Carles Llavina and I've joined Nanomol group for a few months. I'll be working in different kinds of projects related to particulated materials.

I like to practices sports, play the guitar and have fun with my friends while trying to fix the world. I hope that I'll have an awesome stay and I'm excited to meet you all.

Like we say in Spain "The very best is about to come".

See you around!

Hi all!

I'm Luisa Barrera and I just finished my third year at MIT studying Materials Science and Engineering as an undergrad.

I'm here at ICMAB until August working for Dr. Anna Roig on nanoparticles bacterial cellulose nanocomposites to be used for photocatalysis.

This is my first time staying in Barcelona for more than four days, so I'm very excited to get to know the city!

Hello, My name is Yoji Horii and I'm from Japan. I will stay in ICMAB for two momths to research about the redox species of metal complexes under supervision of Dr. M. Mas Torrent and Dr. M. R. Ajayakumar. 

I'm also interested in the sightseeing in Barcelona. Please tell me your recommended place for sightseeing in Barcelona!

See you around at ICMAB!

Hi there,

I'm Cristiano, I've got my master degree in Supramolecular chemistry in Italy at the University of Pavia. I've joined the ICMAB on July as a scholarship holder. Right now I'm working in the Superconducting Materials and Nanostructures at Large scale Group. My work deals with polymer assisted deposition of magnetic oxide films.

see you around then!!!
