Antoine Jerusalem admits it was a gamble joining a fledgling IMDEA Materials Institute back in 2008, but there’s no doubt in his mind that the bold bet more than paid off.
The need to reach beyond its own neighbourhood in the search for scientific talent is one of the key drivers behind IMDEA Materials’ international collaborations with some of the world’s leading
Dr Francisca Martínez-Hergueta has highlighted the positive work and research environment provided by IMDEA Materials Institute as one of its most attractive features for current and prospective researchers. Martínez-Hergueta spent five
To the outside observer, the dynamics of cloud formation and the production of high-performance fibres may seem like two wildly unrelated scientific fields. But in the world of nanotechnology, the fundamental
Postdoctoral researcher and Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) fellow Dr. Lin Xuebao has highlighted the investigative freedom offered to researchers as one of IMDEA Materials’ greatest strengths. And he said that freedom
Ahad Mohammadzadeh’s desire to spread his wings beyond his hometown of Tabriz, Iran led him to apply for a Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) Postdoctoral Fellowship. And in the seven months since
As a Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) postdoctoral fellow, Dr. Sha Liu has helped the IMDEA Materials Institute to become a reference in the calculation of phase diagrams of metallic alloys for
“We developed a method to enhance mutual alignment and stress-transfer in multiyarn CNT fabrics, which is a critical step for scaling up the CNT fabrics manufacturing process and further industrial implementation.”
«Material scientists are always trying to push the envelop to develop that one material with that one microstructure that can be used for a variety of applications, and along the way materials development occurs and we find certain materials and microstructures that can be used for certain applications.»
«I strongly believe that it is important that everybody do something they like and motivate on a daily basis»
«Being curious about how the world works (from ‘why did this happen?’, to ‘why am I here?’) provides a motivation for asking critical questions, and provides the basis for successful research thrusts»
