The Future Under Our Skin
I am very excited about the support I have received from the Dutch National Research Agenda (NWA), MESA+ Institute, and the Techmed Centre, to organize an event entitled The Future Under Our Skin, next April 18th at the Design Lab, University of Twente. More details about the program will follow.
A new paper on bubbles and how to control them
Our work on Gas bubble evolution on microstructured silicon substrates, is now published in Energy and Environmental Science. The result of a fruitful collaboration with colleagues from UC3M and Physics of Fluids group, has detailed the formation, growth and detachment of gas bubbles on electrodes of relevance to many gas-producing processes in industry.
Invited talk at EmTech Europe
On October 2nd, I had the privilege to give an invited talk at EmTech Europe 2018. In a panel discussion on Rewriting Life: Reengineering Our Bodies, I presented ongoing work of my group at the University of Twente, on needle-free injections. The title of my talk was: Why do we still use needles for medical treatments?
Opening event on Cavitation
Today I had the great privilege to give an invited keynote presentation and open the Workshop on Cavitation Exploitation organized by Matevž Dular In the framework of his ERC Consolidator grant, a selected group of specialists converged in Ljubljana, Slovenia, to talk about … bubbles.
U-Today’s piece on my activities
In a short interview, I was able to share some of my dreams and past activities at the University of Twente. You can read the short text here.
A good read from a great colleague
Guerrilla Science: Survival Strategies of a Cuban Physicist by Ernesto Altshuler My rating: 5 of 5 stars This book is a beautiful story about science, humor and in some instances, sadness. The author uses several anecdotes in his story that at the same time teaches us something about his top-notch scientific research. For most people, […]
Giving a twist to bubbles
A collaboration with colleagues from the Universidad de Sevilla gives monodisperse bubbles with a twist. Novel swirl flow‑focusing microfluidic device for the production of monodisperse microbubbles. A link to the publication can be found here.
A massive effort pays back!
After organizing an event in 2014, Pathways to Solar Hydrogen Technologies, at the prestigious Lorentz Centre, we managed to coordinate the input of 45+ co-authors and produced a paper recently accepted in Energy and Environmental Science. The link to the paper can be found here.
A new audience, new challenges!
This week I had the chance to give a talk at the event organized by Health Valley: https://lnkd.in/ebEiCvB. I shared my vision on how the Operation Room of the Future can benefit from our needle-free injection technology.
Flow and bubble formation from pits
The most recent “pit” story, as a collaboration’s result, together with colleagues at TU Darmstad: Bubble nucleation from micro-crevices in a shear flow.
