Group participation at Nanax5!

nnParticipation of The Nanoparticles and Nanocomposites Group at Nanax5 in Málaga with 3 posters and a flash presentation:

Poster: Synthesis and magnetoelectric properties of e-Fe2O3 nanoparticles. M. Gich, A. Roig.

Poster: Intrinsic magneto-optical response of 3D photonic-crystals infiltrated with magnetic nanocrystals. O. Pascu, J. M. Caicedo, A. García-Martín, V. Canalejas,  M. López,  C. López, A. Blanco, J. Fontcuberta, G. Herranz**, Anna Roig*

Flash and poster presentation: Peptides on gold as protease sensors and for supramolecular stamping. A. Laromaine, L. Koh, R. V. Ulijn, O. Akbulut, F. Stellacci, M. M. Stevens

Oral presentation of Anna Roig in Kolkata (India)

Great success in the oral presentation entitled “Engineering iron oxide nanoparticles for theranostic (therapeutic and diagnosis) applications in nanomedicine”.

Anna Roig delivered this seminar in the framework of ATHENA SCHOOL for advanced modeling of magnetic oxides, SN Bose Institute – Kolkata (India), 9th-12th April 2012.

New Cost Action

The group participates in the recently approved COST Action

RATIONAL DESIGN OF HYBRID ORGANIC-INORGANIC INTERFACES: THE NEXT STEP TOWARDS ADVANCED FUNCTIONAL MATERIALS Coordinated by Marie Helene Delville

Interesting: PhD Thesis in nanocrystallization

pic_phd_degreeWe are looking for a highly motivated student with strong initiative holding a degree in Physics, Chemistry or Materials Science (or about to finish his/her studies) or having a Master Degree or willing to enroll in the Master Program of Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (http://www.uab.es).
 
Excellent qualifications (above 75 %) and a good command of English are essential. The research project aims at studying non-conventional mechanisms to control the crystallization of metastable structures at the nanoscale. For instance, the confinement in porous matrices and the application of tensile stresses are strategies that we want to explore.
 
 
The expected outcomes of the Thesis are very relevant at fundamental level and may have a strong impact in a wide range of application fields from information technologies to pharmaceutical sciences. We offer a 1 year part-time contract to initiate the research project within the Nanoparticles and Nanocomposites Group (http://www.icmab.es/nn/) at Institut de Ciència de Materials de Barcelona (http://www.icmab.es). Meanwhile, we will apply for governmental funding to pursue a PhD.
 
To join us send a short motivation email including a CV and a scan of your official academic records to mgich@icmab.es and roig@icmab.es
