Member of CEDENNA’s International Advisory Committee and professor of Inorganic Chemistry Eugenio Coronado met today with the center’s director, Dr. Dora Altbir Drullinsky, and researchers from different lines of work to learn about the progress and challenges facing each area. During his tour of the center’s laboratories, Dr. Coronado delved into the research being carried out, asking questions and making suggestions.
The Spanish chemist and physicist is director of the Institute of Molecular Science of the University of Valencia and has received various awards, including the King Jaime I Award for New Technologies and the King Juan Carlos I National Research Award.
At the end of the visit, Dr. Coronado said that “I am quite impressed by the progress CEDENNA has made in the last four years; in particular, I have seen a strong, firm commitment to building a center that also has an important social component and an important technology transfer component.”
The International Advisory Committee also includes Drs. José d’Albuquerque e Castro, from the Institute of Physics of the Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro (Brazil), and Iván Schuller, from the University of California, San Diego (United States).
