Sara Domínguez, who defended her doctorate thesis last year in our department, participated in the event on behalf of the company APRIA SYSTEMS.
Prof. Ángel Irabien was nominated as Head of the Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering Department. The event, chaired by the rector of the University of Cantabria, Mr. Ángel Pazos, took place in the Pabellón de Gobierno of the University of Cantabria last March 13th, 2018. A representative group of researchers of the Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering Department wanted to share with him this moment.
Arantza Basauri attended the congress “μFluidics and non—equilibrium gas flows 2018 Conference”, celebrated in Strasbourgh (Frances), last February 28 – March 2, 2018, where she presented her work Mass transfer performance under different flow pattern systems in micro-extractors.
Dr. Alfredo Ortiz, as coordinator of the European project “Atlantic Network for Renewable Generation and Supply of Hydrogen to promote High Energy Efficiency – HYLANTIC”, attended the training session for lead partners of projects approved in the first call, celebrated in Porto (Portugal) last February 28th, 2018. The aim of the event, organized by the Joint Secretariat and the Managing Authority of Interreg Atlantic Area, was to provide the necessary guidance for the smooth start of all projects, with focus on the programme requirements, financial circuits, communication aspects and the presentation of the main tools to help projects in their implementation.

And Cristina González is one of the beneficiaries of the “Concepción Arenal Program” pre-doctoral training grants.
Elsa Ajo, Beatriz Muñoz, Sergio Pérez, Daniel Echevarría and Laura Rancaño defended their final project in the Master in Chemical Engineering (UC- UPV/EHU) last March 2nd, 2018 in the University of Basque Country. The evaluation committee was formed by Prof. Andrés Tomás Aguayo (UPV/EHU), Dr. María Fresnedo San Román (UC) and Dr. Manuel Álvarez (UC).
Claudia Solá and Cristina González, PhD. students of the Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering Departament of the University of Cantabria, attended the seminar “DL_Software Training Workshop 2018”, celebrated in Warrington (United Kingdom), last February 19-23, 2018.
Prof. Inmaculada Ortiz has been awarded with the research prize Juan María Parés 2017, granted by the Societal Council of the University of Cantabria.
Rafael Ortiz, master in Industrial Engineering, has joined the Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering department to work in the project “PEMFC-SUDOE: Sostenibilidad Energética en la region SUDOE: Red PEMFCSUDOE SOE1/P1/E0293 (INTERREG SUDOE/FEDER, UE)”, whose main researcher is Dr. Alfredo Ortiz.
Last February 19th, 2018 the members of the Council Department voted for the new Head of the Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering Department. The election took place in the conference room and Prof. Ángel Irabien was elected as the new Head of the Department.
