The researcher Alejandro Criado, a recent PhD graduate at the Center for Center for Research in Biological Chemistry and Molecular Materials (CIQUS), under the direction of Enrique Guitián and Diego Peña, will be one of the 625 new scientists who will travel to Germany later this month for participate in the prestigious 63rd Lindau Nobel Laureates Meeting.
During the Lindau Meeting, which this year will focus on chemistry, they will attend lectures of Nobel Prizes, which establish sets of discussions with the new scientists to address higher-level issues concerning both basic research and application-oriented themes.
Alejandro Criado was selected from over 20,000 young researchers over the world, and one of 10 who will represent Spain, will have the opportunity to personally meet 35 Nobel Laureates and discuss with them about science, together with other students and postgraduates from 78 countries.
Criado, now a postdoctoral researcher at University of Trieste, developed his thesis in the group organometallic catalysis and organic molecular materials.
At the end of last year he was, along with Diego Peña and Enrique Guitián, co-author of a work in colabotaion with IBMfor visualization of molecules with atomic resolution which Science magazine published on its cover..
