Group Activities
The year was almost over, but still we had a final surprise, Dr. Julia Contreras visited the group and gave us a talk entitled "Revealing non covalent interations: are critical points really critical for bonding?".
An ex-component of the group (Dr. Eduardo Alonso) was back from Munich in November to assemble a new nozzle with a laser ablation system that we designed in collaboration with his new group. He also gave a seminar about his new research activities "Medidas de consumo de aceites in situ en motores de combustión"
We received the visit of Prof. Sanjay Wategaonkar in july (21-26/7), who also gave an inspiring talk entitled "CH···x Contacts: are These Really Hydrogen Bonds?". We hope this is the starting point of a fruitful collaboration between our two groups. We use his visit as an excuse to celebrate our annual BBQ. We all had a great time!
On July 6, Prof. Lai-Sheng Wang and Dr. Li-Quion Wang were visiting our lab. Lai-Sheng gave an interesting talk entitled "Electrospray Photoelectron Spectroscopy: From Multiply-Charged Anions to Ultra-Cold Anions". The good weather allowed us to show them the surroundings of Bilbao.
On June 30th we had Dr. Javier Rodríguez (Hospital Nacional de paraplégicos) visiting our group. His visit was related with a joined project on the search for biomarkers that may allow tracking spinal cord injuries.
