It is always good to visit Spain, sometimes for vacation, but this time will be to give one talk at Instituto de Tecnologías Físicas y de la Información, with tittle: USEFULNESS OF BURSTING BUBBLES, and the second at the UC3M where Bubbles are welcome.

Lately it is easier to find out what I do in my LinkedIn Profile or X (formerly known as Twitter), futureunderourskin and BuBble Gun.
Helping in the bilateral relations between Cuba and The Netherlands
On February 19th, 2016 I co-organized an activity in which the Cuban Ambassador to the Netherlands, Fermín Quiñones Sánchez, visited the University of Twente, Enschede. The activity was co-ordinated with L.A. Voz and the University of Twente, represented by Dave Blank, our Chief Scientific Ambassador, and the Dean of the Faculty of Science & Technology, Hans Hilgenkamp. […]
An interview about upcoming event on Solar Hydrogen
In this interview that appeared in the Internal MCEC Newsletter 2016/1. In it you can read about how the event Pathways to Solar Hydrogen Technologies was shaped.
For some tips on how to clean inside a bag
On a recent blog from Chips and Tips, from the Royal Society of Chemistry, Efficient cleaning of a microfluidic chip, we give some tricks on how to clean better microfluidic devices and connectors with ultrasound.
Put it inside the bag!
We have published a communication with title: Scaled–up sonochemical microreactor with increased efficiency and reproducibility Basically we have made sonochemistry inside the BuBble bags and is a scaled-up (larger) version of my first article during my PhD. This is an example on how microfluidics research results can be valorised and could be used for larger scale applications.
Making smaller droplets with larger microchannels
The Microfluidics and Nanofluidics journal has just published our latest results: Study of the geometry in a 3D flow-focusing device The trick of making small droplets of ~ 1µm with small channels trying to avoid clogging is very important for many applications. This work represents an important breakthrough in the practical use of flow-focusing devices delivering a […]
Bubbles made with laser for needle free injection
I am very happy to see our first paper with the title “Continuous-wave laser generated jets for needle free applications“. We made bubbles with a type of lasers that can be used to inject drugs through the skin in a cheaper and safer way; … but more important, if you are scared of needles, then […]
Our Bags are on a catalog!
Even though in Dutch, here you can find the BuBble bags that BuBclean is commercialising… Boom catalog Looking forward to see how the potential users find our product!
Yet another story involving bubbles
Just before the year 2015 ended we got the happy news of the acceptance of the paper entitled “Heat-flux enhancement by vapour-bubble nucleation in Rayleigh–Bénard turbulence“. This is a great paper that required a strong multidisciplinary collaboration. “We report on the enhancement of turbulent convective heat transport due to vapour-bubble nucleation at the bottom plate […]
Finally out: Ultrasonic cleaning of 3D printed objects and Cleaning Challenge Devices
We published an article related to Cleaning as a post-processing step in additive manufacturing (3D printing). Ultrasonic baths are used in many cases for removing support material. Perhaps the most novel idea is a Cleaning Challenge Device intended for the standardization of cleaning. This weblink will be free for 50 days in case you want to […]
