Lanthanide-Based Multifunctional Materials

Pablo Martín-Ramos obtained his Ph.D. from the University of Valladolid, Spain, in 2013 with Professor J. Martín-Gil. He conducted research as a Fulbright scholar at the University of Columbia (New York, USA) and as a DAAD scholar at Max Planck Institut für Festkörperforschung (Stuttgart, Germany). He joined the faculty of University of Zaragoza in 2015 as an Associate Professor. His primary research interests include lanthanide-based LCMDs and their applications in OLED technology and fiber optic communications, and g-C3N4-based composites for photocatalysis.Follow link to Pablo Martín-Ramos's ORCID profile: http://orcid.org/0000-0003-2713-2786 Manuela Ramos Silva earned her Ph.D. from the University of Coimbra, Portugal, in 2002 under the guidance of Professor L. Alte da Veiga. She has carried out research at ILL and ESRF (Grenoble, France) and at Risø National Laboratory (Roskilde, Denmark). She has served as an Associate Professor in Condensed Matter Physics at the Physics Department of the University of Coimbra for fifteen years, obtaining her “Agregação” in Experimental Physics in 2010. She has published over 250 scientific papers in peer review journals. Her current research interests are focused on the physical properties of molecular materials, with emphasis on molecular magnetism and non-linear optics.Follwo link to Manuela Ramos Silva's ORCID profile: http://orcid.org/0000-0001-9555-8856
