The Association of Former JW Fulbright Scholars Spain and the International Institute are pleased to invite you to:
The Tsunami of Nanotechnology
A conference by Prof. D Rodolfo Miranda Soriano, Director of the Madrid Institute for Advanced Studies in Nanoscience
RODOLFO MIRANDA received his Ph.D. in Physics from the Autonomous University of Madrid (UAM) in 1981 in surface physics under the supervision of Prof. JM Rojo. He worked in Munich and Berlin with Gerhard Ertl (Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2007), before becoming Professor of Condensed Matter Physics at UAM in 1990. Vice-Rector for Research and Infrastructure at UAM (1998-2002), Executive Secretary of the Commission R+D of the Conference of Rectors of the Spanish University (CRUE, 2000-2002) and Director of the Institute of Material Sciences
Nicholas Cabrera. He has served on expert committees of the Surface Science Division of IUVSTA, the Max Planck Institute fur Mikrostruktur Physik, and the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF). Prof. Miranda is Fellow of "The American Physical Society" since 2007, Director of the UAM Surface Science Laboratory (LASUAM) and Director of IMDEA-Nanoscience since February 2007. Prof. Miranda's scientific interests include magnetism of low dimension, molecular self-organization on surfaces, epitaxic growth mechanisms, growth and properties of graphene or use of nanoparticles in nanomedicine. Together with his collaborators, he has developed instruments to perform Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM), Helium Atom Scattering (HAS) and Angular Resolved Photoemission (ARUPS) in high vacuum. Professor Miranda is the author and co-author of more than 270 scientific publications, with more than 10.000 citations. He has supervised more than 40 doctoral and postdoctoral students.
