Santiago Cuesta-López

ORGANIZATION

Dept. of Advanced Materials, Nuclear Technology & Nanotechnology. University of Burgos.

POSITION

Nanophotonics Lab Manager

SHORT DESCRIPTION OF ORGANISATION OR DEPARTMENT

The Dept. of Advanced Materials, Nuclear Technology & Nanotechnology, within the Science and Technology Park of Burgos and Centre of Advanced Industrial Technologies (CITI) play a catalytic role in the industrial network surrounding the region. We have developed a strong program of interaction between industry and academics, giving rise to permanent collaborations and successful research contracts. In particular, our group has already signed two agreements with international engineering companies in the fields of Radiation Safety Nano-solutions and Advanced Nano-Materials development.

PERSONAL WORK AREA

At present, we are carrying out an international EU-FP7 project RADINTERFACES: FP7-NMP-2010-SMALL-4. VII Framework Programme UE, Grant Proposal No. 263273-2. This project is devoted to the development of new nanostructured materials with self-healing properties and enhanced radiation damage resistance. We have recently implanted a line of Bio-Nanosafety. Implementing toxicity assays of nanomaterials and nanocompounds in mammal and model cells.We have long experience inside the European Union Framework Program.

EU PROJECT EXPERIENCE

We have participated in Materials/Nano-materials design and development in the following actions: - European Union 5th Framework Program of EURATOM “Prototype Design Study – Experimental Accelerator Driven System (PDS-XADS)”, reference FP5-EAECTP C, FIKW-CT-2001-00179. - European Union 6th Framework Program of EURATOM “Transmutation on Adiabatic Resonance Crossing, TARC”. “HiPER: European High Power Laser Energy Research Facility (Preparatory Phase Study)”. Fp7-infraestructures-2007-1. VII Framework Programme UE, capacities work programme.
