Sandra Sanchez has been awarded to a short-term fellowship to support her visit to the Institute of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Oxford from September to December 2017. The grant was given by The European Molecular Biology Organization (EMBO), an organization that promotes excellence in the life sciences. There, she will carry out biocompatibility analysis in order to demonstrate the ability of the already fabricated membranes by assays of neuronal cell culture, under the supervision of Dra. Hua Ye.

Inmaculada Ortiz and Jenifer Gómez attended the congress NANOTECH 2017, celebrated last May 14-17, 2017 in Washington DC (USA). They presented 3 works: “CFD analysis of particle magnetophoresis in multiphase continuous flow bioseparators”, “CFD analysis of facilitated transport in microextraction processes” and “Numerical Analysis of Acoustophoretic Discrete Particle Focusing in Microchannels”.

Last May 18th, 2017, Carlos Javier gave the seminar “Procesos de oxidación avanzada, una forma de tratar agua contaminada de manera fácil, rápida y segura”, to post-graduate students of the University of Guanajuato (UG) invited by his supervisor during his stay there, Dr. Juan Manuel Peralta.

Carlos Javier Escudero attended the XXXVIII Encuentro Nacional de la AMIDIQ (Academia Mexicana de Investigación y Docencia en Ingeniería Química) celebrated in Ixtapa Zihuatanejo, Mexico, last May 9-12, 2017, where he presented his work “Avances en la configuración de reactores fotocatalíticos con sistemas LEDs para el tratamiento de agua”.

Last May 4th, 2017, Sara Dominguez within the other PhD. students of the Department of Chemical Engineering of the Loughborough University, participated in the social event “AACME School Scavenger Social”, organized by the School of Aeronautical and Automotive, Chemical and Materials Engineering (AACME).

Last Tuesday, May 2^nd, 2017, students of the Chemical Engineering Degree who follow the courses Wastewater Treatment and European Project Semester, within the Faculty members Raquel Ibáñez, Eugenio Bringas, María Margallo and Marcos Fallanza visited the WWTP located at San Román and the company Lunagua Ltd.

The students had the opportunity to observe conventional and advanced technologies for the sanitation of urban and industrial wastewaters and had a dialogue with the process engineers responsible of both facilities.

Dr. Adrián Rodríguez has joined the Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering Department as  Juan de la Cierva post-doctoral researcher. Adrián will work with TAB research group under the supervision of Prof. Ane Urtiaga.

Carlos Javier Escudero is currently performing his second predoctoral research internship at the Department of Chemistry in the Division of Nature and Exact Sciences of the University of Guanajato in Mexico, under the supervision of Dr. Juan Manuel Peralta Hernández. During this period, from April to June 2017, he will work in the field of electrochemical and photocatalytic treatment of organic compounds.

Arantza Basauri and Juan Corredor will incorporate to the Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering Department of the University of Cantabria, next May 1^st, 2017 in the frame of the FPI grants of the projects “Aplicaciones avanzadas de separación. Modelado y validación experimental” and “Nuevos desarrollos en fotocatálisis para aplicaciones medioambientales”, respectively.

This grant will give them the opportunity to develop their thesis during a period of 4 years. Arantza will work under the supervision of Inmaculada Ortiz and Marcos Fallanza, and Juan will also work under the supervision of Inmaculada Ortiz and María José Rivero.

Alfredo Ortiz attended the Iberoamerican Meeting on Ionic Liquids – IMIL 2017, celebrated in Santos (Brazil) last April 5-7, 2017, where he presented the work “Ethane/ethylene separation through facilitated transport ionic liquid composite membranes”.
