Physics and Industry
This week I have been supervising a group of students to address a challenge brought up by the company Feltest. The 10th edition of the Lorentz Center event Physics with Industry is a great initiative to learn about real-life problems. In our case, we had to visit a paper mill!
Inaugural lecture of a new Investigation Centre in Mexico
Last November 7th, 2018, I had the great privilege to open the First Congress on Nanobioengineering, as part of the inauguration of the Centro de Investigación en Biotecnología y Nanotoxicología (CIBYN), from the Faculty of Chemistry of the Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo Leon (UANL), Monterrey, Mexico.
Visiting Southampton
As part of a collaboration with my colleague Ivo Peters, I will be giving a seminar on April 18th at the Aerodynamics and Flight Mechanics group. Besides talking about bubbles, we will also play with some “laser bubbles”.
Visiting Warsaw to kickstart collaboration
This week I will be visiting my colleague, Prof. Colmenares’s group Catalysis for Sustainable Energy Production and Environmental Protection, from the Institute of Physical Chemistry of the Polish Academy of Sciences. I will be giving two lectures supported by the National Science Centre (NCN) in Poland within research project Sonata Bis Nr. 2015/18/E/ST5/00306. This project is aimed […]
Giving a Lecture on Bubbles aka Cavitation, and some of its applications at NYU
I will be giving a lecture at the Department Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering, Tandon School of Engineering. This visit has been arranged by Assistant professor Miguel Modestino (http://www.miguelmodestino.com)
Visiting scientist at MIT
I am starting a collaboration with Prof. Ian W. Hunter from the Bioinstrumentation lab, and Prof. Gareth McKinley’s Non-Newtonian Fluid Dynamics Research Group. We want to learn more about thermocavitation and its rheology aspects; let’s see how far we can get at MIT!
