Adnan Parwez has joined our research group for the next year to work on LIBS-related projects!! Adnan Parwez completed his Bachelor’s degree in physics and a Master’s degree in Electronics in India. He then moved to Europe to pursue an Erasmus Mundus Master’s program in Microwave and Photonics Engineering, during which he studied in France, Italy, and Spain. As part of his Master’s thesis, he completed an industrial internship at ASENSE (formerly ASE Optics Europe) in Barcelona, where he worked on “tolerance analysis and optical performance evaluation of a high-precision optical system”. After completing his studies, he joined Universidad Carlos…

Nos alegra enormemente compartir que la Dra. Cristina Méndez López, investigadora de nuestro Grupo de Espectroscopía, Láseres y Plasmas (GELP) de la Universidad de Oviedo, ha sido galardonada con el II Premio GEFP a la Mejor Tesis Doctoral en Física de Plasmas, otorgado por el Grupo Especializado de Física de Plasmas (GEFP) de la Real Sociedad Española de Física (RSEF). La decisión fue adoptada por unanimidad el 25 de febrero de 2026 por el jurado designado por la Junta de Gobierno del GEFP. Su tesis, titulada: “Estudios fundamentales y evaluación del potencial analítico en espectroscopía de plasmas inducidos por láser…

Dra. Méndez has presented an Invited lecture at the 13th Edition of the Euro-Mediterranean Symposium on Laser-induced Breakdown Spectroscopy, EMSLIBS 2025 (13th Euro-Mediterranean Symposium on Laser-induced Breakdown Spectroscopy – Sciencesconf.org) a conference dedicated to LIBS (Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy). The conference was held between the 26th and 30th of January 2026, in Senlis, France.  

Dr. Orejas has presented the lecture “Fundamental Insights on the Solution-Cathode Glow Discharge” at the Glow Discharge Spectroscopy session of the 2026 Winter Conference on Plasma Spectrochemistry, a conference dedicated to Plasma-based Atomic Optical and Mass Spectrometries. The conference held a session in honor of Prof. Ramon Barnes, founder and organizer of the conference since 1980, creating an amazing community and pushing forward great Science. Thanks Ramon!
