Today our PhD student Sandra Giraldo defended her PhD thesis titled “Electroactive self-assembled monolayers: p-donor/p-acceptor interactions to induce transport along of the surface” in an online session.
Well done! =)
The PhD researcher Sandra Giraldo from the Supramolecular systems in Nanomedicine Group (UB) and FunNanoSurf Group (ICMAB-CSIC), will defend her PhD thesis on Friday, 26 February 2021, at 11 am in an online session.
The PhD Thesis Defense will be held by videoconference from the ICMAB meeting room.
On the occasion of International Women and Girls in Science Day, researchers are launching the #NoMoreMatildas campaign to make their work visible.
“Can you imagine what would have happened if Einstein had been born a woman? We probably wouldn’t know who she was. ”
Put an eye on this interesting video 😉

What is Matilda effect? The Matilda Effect is known as the constant invisibilization of women in the science field. They don’t appear in the science or history boks, and their research results are many times diluted among the results of their male colleagues, maybe because these latter reclaim its authorship or because it is not believed that what their female colleagues are researching is important enough.

THIS POSTDOCTORAL POSITION IS ALREADY CLOSED
FunNanoSurf is a multidisciplinary group at the ICMAB (Institute of Material Science of Barcelona, Bellaterra, Spain) interested in the integration of molecules as active elements in nano-/micro-devices with the goal of developing functional molecular-based platforms for electronic and/or sensing applications.
Job Description
We are looking to recruit a postdoctoral fellow to create hybrid graphene-based three-terminal nanodevices. The postdoctoral fellow will oversee the design, fabrication and characterization of graphene-based electrodes separated by a nano-gap (<2 nm) using controlled electroburning, as well as the analysis and treatment of the experimental data. Electronic transport measurements of three-terminal nanodevices will be performed in a probe station under various environmental conditions to assess their efficiency and robustness as electronic sensors.

Who can apply?
The call is for university students with an excellent academic record. Applicants should have an average grade equal or higher than 7.5/10. The fellowships are for university students who will start studying an Official University Master during 2020-2021 in the fields of Materials Science and Technology, Physics, Chemistry, Biology or Biomedicine.
Last Friday (10/07/2020), our PhD student Sandra Giraldo Clemente attended on a virtual NanoBio&Med2020 Conference. Her speech was entitled Neurotransmitter’s encapsulation on Bipyridinium-functionalized polysilicon microparticles by supramolecular interactions.
At the NanoBio&Med2020, it have been presented the most recent international developments in the field of Nanobiotechnology and Nanomedicine in order to provide a platform for multidisciplinary communication, new cooperations and projects to participants from both science and industry.

The CSIC Catalunya organized a morning in which women scientists from different CSIC centers visited the school “Escola Can Maiol” in Sants, Barcelona, to talk and experiment with science. From the ICMAB, Arántzazu González, chemist, visited the group of 3r Primària (8-9 years old) and did some experiments to discover the acid/basic properties of some natural substances that we have at home by the change of color. Sants3Radio was there to talk with them!
