We are beyond proud to share that our former researcher, Iñigo Ramiro, post-doctoral fellow at CENIMAT|i3N through a MSCA Fellowship between 2021 and 2023, has been awarded with an European Research Council (ERC) Consolidator Grant. Now based in Madrid, at the Instituto de Energía Solar - Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, Iñigo Ramiro will be leading the project TANGO which will focus on the development of multi-band semiconductor materials, entitled: "It takes three to tango: semiconductors with three bands for a new generation of optoelectronic devices". We extend our congratulations to Iñigo on this great accomplishment. His success highlights the outstanding talent within the CENIMAT|i3N community. CENIMAT|i3N not only attracts talent but also exports knowledge! 📸 Instituto de Energía Solar - Universidad Politécnica de Madrid

Professor Rodrigo Martins’ keynote, «Exponential Materials», explored how advanced materials are revolutionizing industries and enabling new possibilities for exponential growth. 🚀 XPANSE, the world's first forum of the future with exponential technologies, is a pioneering global initiative based in Abu Dhabi that brings the world's greatest minds and renowned technologists to the ADNEC Centre in Abu Dhabi.

📢 #CMUPortugal has a new call for up to 8 Exploratory Research Projects (ERP)  in ICT❗ ERPs are designed to assist teams of researchers from Portuguese institutions and Carnegie Mellon University to bootstrap high-impact potential research activities of strategic relevance. 🎯Deadline: January 22nd, 2025 👉 More information about the call and how to apply at https://lnkd.in/eiQWrHfy Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia (FCT)

Our new work resulting from a great collaboration with colleagues (PhD student Douglas Vieira, Prof. Neri Alves, Dr. Maíza Ozório) from the University of Prudente at Unesp has led to the following publication in Advance Intelligent Systems (Wiley): https://lnkd.in/d8AE9zke In this work sustainably printed transistors using zinc oxide nanoparticles as the active layer and honey electrolyte on wood substrates are demonstrated as a promising approach to reduce the environmental footprint of electronics with potential for neuromorphic systems. I would like to congratulate Douglas Vieira for this work, a PhD student who I had the opportunity to mentor with Prof Rodrigo Martins during his stay at CENIMAT|i3N. This project was funded through FAPESP, SUPERIOT and ELEGANCE EIC PROJECT. Maria Morais Elvira Fortunato DCM FCT NOVA #TFTs #natural #materials #sustainability #neuromorphic
