The Universidad de Santiago de Chile has published the article titled “2024 National Prize for Natural Sciences winner gives lecture on clean energy”, which details the participation of Dr. José Zagal in the seventh CEDENNA Seminar Series. This event, held in the Auditorium of the Rector Eduardo Morales Santos Research Centers Building (REMS) at USACH, was a unique occasion for the scientific community of the university and its surroundings.
Dr. Zagal, a world leader in electrochemistry and energy conversion, with more than 200 scientific publications and author of four books, was recently awarded the 2024 National Prize for Natural Sciences. During the talk, the academic shared his more than 50 years of research experience, having begun his career at the Universidad de Santiago in 1973, where he has been a pillar in training new generations of scientists.
The session, which brought together students and researchers, stood out for the active participation of the audience, culminating in an enriching question-and-answer session that allowed direct exchange with Dr. Zagal.
The article published by USACH also highlights the recognition that CEDENNA Director Dr. Juan Escrig Murúa presented to Dr. Zagal at the close of the seminar. This gift included the book “The Amazing Nanoworld”, a work that fuses science and art through images of nanoparticles captured by the center’s researchers using electron microscopy.
