INFRARED-JCyL infrastructure

Our group received funding from the 2021 Call of Regional Infrastructure program sponsored by the Junta de Castilla y León – FEDER, to acquire a chirped-pulse millimeter-wave Fourier transform spectrometer operanting in the W band (75-110 GHz). The instrument was installed in December 2022 and is now fully operational. This spectrometer is open to other groups in the region or at national or international level, permitting investigation on gas-phase molecules of structural, atmospheric or astrophysical interest.

Dissertation of Rizalina T. Saragi

Rizalina Tama Saragi passed her doctoral dissertation last March, 11, 2022, following an stay in our lab which started at the end of 2017. The evaluation committee included Melanie Schnell (Kiel + DESY), Luca Evangelisti (Bologna) and Emilio Cocinero (Bilbao). Rizalina will start a postdoc later this year.

Dissertation of Marcos Juanes

Marcos Juanes passed his dissertation on September, 2, 2022. The committee members included (left to right in the picture): Pascal Dréan (Lille), Jens-Uwe Grabow (Hannover) and José Andrés Fernández (Bilbao). Marcos started later a postdoc stay at the Institut of Ion Physics and Applied Physics of the University of Innsbruck.

September visits

Following the 25th Conference on High Resolution Molecular Spectroscopy we received some visits at the lab. Prof. Pascal Dréan (PhLAM, Univ. Lille) and his Ph.D. student Mhamad Chrayteh visited the lab last September 10th. Later that week we welcomed Prof. Yasuki Endo (NCTU, Taiwan) and Dr. Cabezas (NCTU, now at the CSIC, Madrid).
