Welcome to Fernando Igoa, new master student, funded by the cluster of Excellence MATISSE in the frame of the international Nanomat master. Nice work on the horizon: nano, molten salts and high pressures.
New position
A new position is opened in the group for a motivated master student (M2 – 6 months). Topic: nanoparticles synthesis – intermetallics – energy conversion.
Please write me for details. All applications welcome!
New comers!
We warmly welcome our two new PhD students: Guillaume funded by the French National Agency for Research, and Yang funded by the Chinese Scholarship Council and the Innitiative of Excellence Labex MATISSE. Lots of exciting research in the pipeline!
Electrocatalysis with new two-dimensional nano-oxides
Our new work with UCMadrid and José M. González-Calbet’s group is out in Chemistry of Materials! Another example of this fruitful collaboration for the design of functional nanoscaled oxides, this time in aqueous media. Congrats to Alberto and Francisco for their really nice work.
