Professor
jherves@uvigo.es

Ph. D. from the University of Santiago de Compostela in 1991. Postdoctoral fellow with Lyn Williams at Durham University (United Kingdom). Since 1992 he is at the University of Vigo, currently as associate professor.

‘The reactivity branch conducts research on chemical reactivity in nanoheterogeneous media (micelles, microemulsions, vesicles and nanoparticles). The aim is using these systems to modulate the chemical reaction, specially in its kinetic aspect’.

Postdoctoral Research Associate (Parga Pondal)
Ph. D. from the University of Vigo (Spain)
pastoriza@uvigo.es

‘My current interest involves the synthesis of metal nanoparticles, mainly gold and silver, with size and shape control and therefore with desired optical properties. Furthermore, my research is also focused on the surface modification and assembly of the nanoparticles to improve their versatility’

Postdoctoral Research Associate (Ramón y Cajal)
Ph. D. from the University of  Vigo (Spain)
juste@uvigo.es

‘My research is focussed on the synthesis, characterization and application of metal nanoparticles. The morphology control of gold nanoparticles and its effect on a variety of physical properties is a hot topic and particularly the understanding of the mechanisms involved in nanoparticle growth, which determine the final size and shape’
