This is the fifth ERC-funded project carried out at this Spanish university<\/em><\/h3>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text text_direction=”default”]The Italian researcher Leonardo Scarabelli will join the University of Cantabria (Spain) in the coming months to carry out his Nanogrowdirect<\/em> project for 60 months thanks to more than two million euros in funding from the Starting Grant<\/em> call of the European Research Council (ERC).<\/p>\n

This is the fifth ERC grant awarded to a researcher from the University of Cantabria, and Rector \u00c1ngel Pazos highlighted the \u201csignificant success\u201d of this university in attracting this type of European calls. \u201cIn addition, within the area of Physical Sciences and Engineering, we are the only Spanish university that has obtained an ERC Starting Grant,\u201d added Pazos.<\/p>\n

The Vice-Rector for Research at the University of Cantabria, Carlos Beltr\u00e1n, emphasised the achievements obtained by Leonardo Scarabelli, including \u201cthe first position, among the 52 excellent candidates\u201d in the most recent call of the Ram\u00f3n y Cajal<\/em> programme of the State Research Agency in Spain, through which he will be hired by University of Cantabria.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][image_with_animation image_url=”16258″ image_size=”medium_large” animation_type=”entrance” animation=”None” animation_movement_type=”transform_y” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”” img_link_large=”yes” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default”][vc_column_text text_direction=”default”]From left to right: UC’s Vice-Rector for Research Carlos Beltr\u00e1n, Dr. Scarabelli, and UC’s Rector \u00c1ngel Pazos.<\/em><\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][image_with_animation image_url=”16255″ image_size=”medium_large” animation_type=”entrance” animation=”None” animation_movement_type=”transform_y” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”” img_link_large=”yes” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default”][vc_column_text text_direction=”default”]From left to right: UC’s Vice-Rector for Research Carlos Beltr\u00e1n, UC’s Rector \u00c1ngel Pazos, and Dr. Scarabelli.<\/em><\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text text_direction=”default”]Scarabelli and the Nanogrowdirect project<\/strong><\/p>\n

Scarabelli, who holds a PhD in Chemistry from the University of Vigo (Spain), has developed his scientific career at the Centre for Cooperative Research in Biomaterials. After working as a postdoctoral researcher at the University of California, Los Angeles, he started his independent academic career at the Institute of Materials Science of Barcelona.<\/p>\n

Dr. Scarabelli will join the Department of Chemistry and Process & Resource Engineering<\/a><\/span> at the University of Cantabria and will have his laboratory at the School of Industrial and Telecommunication Engineering to develop his project Nanogrowdirect: Nanoparticles in Situ Surface Growth for Direct Fabrication of Functional Patterned Nanomaterials<\/em>. It aims to develop new synthetic protocols characterised by greater control over the morphology, size, and composition of nanostructures. Scarabelli explained that \u201cthe problem the scientific community has with nanoparticles is that, in order to be applied to modern life, they have to be integrated into a device, into surfaces or into sensors, and this step presents some difficulties.\u201d With the Nanogrowdirect<\/em> project, he will try to \u201csolve these problems by presenting a completely different and novel and innovative approach in which the nanoparticles are not prepared, synthesised in solution, but directly on the substrate, the material of interest.\u201d This solution \u201chas been proposed and tried several times over the years, but never successfully,\u201d added Scarabelli.<\/p>\n

The University of Cantabria has received, with this kind of ERC grants, a total of more than 9.5 million euros. Leonardo Scarabelli\u2019s is the best funded to date, with 2.125 million euros.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
