Pol has been accepted to an International Master Course in Materials for Energy Storage and Conversion

Written by Anna May on September 1, 2016. Posted in Awards and scholarships, News, Welcome and farewell.

Today is Pol’s last day in the N&N Group. In the group meeting we gave him a little present and he brought some delicious pastries from his hometown, Manresa.

We will miss him, but we are happy that he has been accepted to the International Master in Materials for Energy Storage and Conversion (MESC) with an Erasmus Mundus scholarship.

This Master is a 2-years education program in the field of Energy-related Materials. During the first year, Pol will study in Toulouse (France) and in Warsaw (Poland); and in the second year in Córdoba (Spain). The last semester is dedicated to an internship. After successful completion of the curriculum, Pol will graduate with a multiple Master degree awarded by all universities of the consortium and recognised in each of the countries visited.

Congratulations Pol! Good luck and see you soon!

June 29^th-30^th are devoted to the “2nd Scientific Meeting of BNC-b Students”, which will take place at the Sala d’Actes of the Facultat de Ciències i Biociències (UAB). The meeting is aimed to present the work done by the PhD students of the Barcelona Nanotechnology Cluster – Bellaterra (ICMAB, ICN2, IMB-CNM, UAB, ALBA), promoting networking among all the students in an academic and scientific environment.

The N&N group will have a large participation in the event, both from PhD students and Master and Undergraduate students:

Laura González (PhD student) will give a talk on “Evaluation of Inorganic nanoparticles in the model organism C. elegans” (Session 2, June 29^th, 12.15 h).
The following posters will be presented (Poster sessions: June 29^th10.45-12.00 h; June 30^th 10.30-11.15 h):
- Adsorption of toxic metal ions onto magnetic graphene oxide (Iván Gómez, Visiting PhD student)
- Encapsulating endothelial progenitor cell’s secretome for vascular remodeling therapies (Irene Anton, Master student)
- Magneto-plasmonic multimaterial nanoparticles (Miquel Torras and Adrià Gordillo, Undergraduate students)
- Production of bacterial nano-cellulose as a terrific natural polymer (Deyaa Youssef, Visiting PhD student)
- Stabilization of epitaxial quartz on Si from amorphous silica films (Qianzhe Zhang, PhD student)

The N&N Group participates in the Nano Festival at the Campus UAB

Written by Anna May on April 4, 2016. Posted in News, Science outreach.

The N&N Group has collaborated in the first science outreach festival of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology. This festival, held between April 4th-8th 2016 in different locations of the Spanish geography (Zaragoza, Donostia, Barcelona, and Campus UAB) is full of different activities: seminars, exhibitions, workshops, nanodebates and competitions.

Anna May and Pol Sallés participated in the workshop around “Nanomaterials at ICMAB“, in which different nanomaterials created by ICMAB were shown and the role of nanotechnology in our daily life products was discussed. The assistants were mainly students from the UAB (Nanoscience and Nanotechnology, Biotechnology, etc.), but also high school students interested in pursuing a Nanoscience degree were present. Tomorrow, Tuesday 5th April, Anna Laromaine will give a talk on Nanomedicine (Sala d’Actes, Facultat de Ciències, 10.30 – 13 h) and the workshop will also be held at the C1 Hall of the Facultat de Ciències (13 – 15 h).

The program of the different activities held at Campus UAB can be found here.

Farewell to Jana and welcome to Iván and Deyaa – Group Lunch and Lab Cleaning Day

Written by Anna May on April 1, 2016. Posted in Group activities, News, Welcome and farewell.

This Friday, after the Lab Cleaning (good job!) we had a N&N Group Lunch to say goodbye to Jana, who did a fantastic job at ICMAB and now is going back to ETH Zurich, and to welcome the two new visiting Ph.D. students, Deyaa, from Egypt, and Iván, from Colombia.

There were 15 of us today! The group always gets big in spring time with all the new students!
