Bianchi, Bea, Onur and Paula met with old fellow Jaime Dolado in ESRF - ID16 to perform several experiments including XEOL, XRF, XANES spectra and their mappings.
ESRF is European Synchrotron Radiation Facility and one of the most powerful X-ray sources in the world. Members of FINE group visited to the facility for the third time working on various projects that contributed to several articles from ESRF.
And new results are coming with new research articles!!!

We are delighted to announce that our group member, Paula has been awarded a highly competitive Contrato Predoctoral de Personal Investigador en Formación (PIPF) this year!
The PIPF is Spain's formal employment contract for PhD students, designed to fund a researcher's training and thesis completion for a maximum of four years. Crucially, this contract provides Paula with a salary and full social security benefits (including health insurance and unemployment), establishing her as a salaried trainee researcher rather than just a grant recipient.
This outstanding achievement secures her position and funding with us for the next four years. We offer our warmest congratulations to Paula on this well-deserved success and look forward to supporting her continued career trajectory and thesis work!
