2023 Society for Applied Spectroscopy- Atomic Section Student Award given to Cristina Méndez from GELP Research Group.
As part of this Award, Cristina will present an Invited Lecture:
«Building your own fs/ns-LIBS system – from desperation to success and everything in between»
at SciX 2023 (https://www.scixconference.org/) (Nevada, USA, October 8-13 2023)
Here you can find a short biography of Cristina:
«I am a 4th year Ph.D. student working on Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) at the Spectroscopy, Lasers and Plasmas Research Group (GELP) led by Profs. Nerea Bordel and Jorge Pisonero at the University of Oviedo. My experience in LIBS dates back to my undergraduate years, when I pursued my B.Sc. Thesis (Physics, 2018) on the subject of the effects of nebulization on laser-induced plasmas under supervision of Prof. Nerea Bordel. Afterwards, the Research Group gave me the opportunity to carry out my M.Sc. Thesis (Analytical and Bioanalytical Sciences, 2019) on the development of a double-pulse LIBS experimental set-up, from scratch, with the newly acquired femtosecond and nanosecond lasers. My Ph.D. Thesis continues the research in both fields of LIBS, having developed a methodology for liquid sample analysis based on nebulization (patent pending) and currently working on the thorough characterization of double-pulse LIBS experimental parameters, with special focus on the spatio-temporal variables.»
Congratulations Cristina for this outstanding Award!
