Natalia Rey wins AULA HUNOSA Prize

March 4, 2017

Natalia Rey was awarded with the Aula Hunosa prize for the best PhD thesis of 2016. 

Her PhD thesis entitled Synthesis of Carbon Xerogels of Microwave-Induced. Design of Porous Materials à la Carte was developed at the Carbon Institute (Instituto del Carbón, Oviedo, Spain) belonging to the Spanish National Scientific Research Council (Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas, Spain) and intended to create new materials that combined their application and the reduction of costs. With this research work she has already registered a patent and obtained scientific recognition.

Since June 2016 Natalia Rey is Postdoctoral Researcher in the field of biomass-derived carbon materials applied to catalysis at LSRE-LCM.

Launching the LSRE-LCM Website

March 17, 2017

The new, long overdue, website of the Associate Laboratory LSRE-LCM is now open.

On this date, LSRE-LCM counts with a total of 134 researchers; 72 with a PhD and 21 PhD students; 53% of our researchers are women. To all who have worked on and helped with the contents of this site, thank you.

We welcome all our visitors, and invite you to spend some time discovering who we are and what we do, a little bit of our history, our current team and our outputs. In particular, visit our Research menu, where we tried to summarize most of our R&D activities.

As is the case with research, a website should be a dynamic project. Soon the Alumni page will be launched, for which we invite our former researchers to send a short biographical note and a current photo. Other information will be provided in the future, so please come back and visit again soon.
