Programa Operativo FEDER de Castilla y León               Adquisición de equipamiento científico técnico en red – INFRARED (IR2020-1-UVa02)                                   Consejería de Educación de la Junta de Castilla y León (España)

Recognition from the local press 

After the publication of the study of the TATP molecule (“Microwave detection of wet triacetone triperoxide (TATP): non-covalent forces in water dynamics, Chem. Eur. J. 27 (2021) 1680-1687″), due to its explosive role, the local press has been interested in our work and has publised some articles in the local media.

Some examples are the cabinet of communication of the University of Valladolid (website) and in the newspaper “El Mundo”, in its Valladolid section (website).

Moreover, this relevance in the media has attracted several State security forces to contact us and visit our laboratory.

In May 2019, we were pleased to recieve the visit of Prof. A. Maris, from the Free Jet Microwave Spectroscopy Group of the Department of Chemistry C. Ciamician  in the Università di Bologna, Italy.

During her time here, she gave an interesting curse about “Vibrational Motions in Crystals”.

Participation on the 25th International Conference on High Resolution Molecular Spectroscopy

The 25 edition of the Interantional Conference on High Resolution Molecular Spectroscopy will be heald in Bilbao  from  3 to 7 of September, 2018.

All the members of the group will participate with several short talks about the latest projects developed during the last months.

Doctor Pablo Pinacho

In June 7, 2018, our group member Pablo Pinacho obtained their Doctor title with the award of “suma cum laude”.

Congratulations Doctor Pinacho

Participation on the 73RD International Symposium on Molecular Spectroscopy

The 73 edition of the Interantional Symposium on Molecular Spectroscopy will be heald in Urbana-Champaign, Illinois, from  18 to 22 of June, 2018.

All the members of the group will participate with several short talks about the latest projects developed during the last months.

Prof. A. Maris visited the RSRG

In June 2017, we welcomed to Prof. A. Maris, from the Free Jet Microwave Spectroscopy Group of the Department of Chemistry C. Ciamician  in the Università di Bologna, Italy.

She staid with us from 25 to 27 in a short visit.

Prof. Z. Kisiel visited the RSG

We were pleased to welcome to one of the most experts in rotational spectroscopy, Prof. Z. Kisiel, from Insitite of Physics in Warsaw, Poland.

His visit took place from 8 to 19 May, 2017. During the time he was here working with us he also gave a really useful PhD curse called: “Analysis of broadband rotational spectra”. Moreover, we also had time to sightsee the beautiful local landscape and enjoy with our traditional meal.

Thank you for your visit Professor Kisiel and we are looking forward to seeing you.
