INSTITUTIONAL SEMINAR
Emerging nanomaterial-based composites: An innovative route to multifunctional applications
On August 28, at 3:00 p.m., a new edition of the IMIT Conicet UNNE Institute Institutional Seminar was held in the graduate classroom of the Faculty of Exact and Natural Sciences and Surveying (FaCENA) of the National University of the Northeast (UNNE). The meeting, held in hybrid mode, featured the outstanding participation of Dr. Noelia Bajales Luna, a renowned researcher in the field of nanoscience and nanotechnology.
During the seminar, various strategies were explored for obtaining nanomaterial composites that take advantage of the unique properties of their individual components, thus achieving synergistically integrated systems.
Dr. Bajales Luna highlighted the use of simulation tools in the experimental design of magnetic nanostructures in interaction with graphene platforms. These emerging materials present multiple functionalities, making them attractive for nanotechnological applications in areas such as energy and environmental remediation.
The seminar offered an innovative view on the development of multifunctional nanomaterials, underlining the importance of research and interdisciplinary collaboration in this field. Dr. Bajales Luna, with her vast experience and knowledge, provided valuable insight into the future applications of these materials in key sectors such as energy and the environment.
Dr. Noelia Bajales Luna is a professional trained at FACENA (UNNE), where she obtained the degrees of Electrical Engineer (Industrial Orientation) in 2003 and a Bachelor's degree in Physics in 2004. In 2009, she completed her doctoral thesis in Surface Physics, being the first graduate of the Physics PhD from the Universidad Nacional del Litoral (UNL), Santa Fe. Her postdoctoral career includes scholarships from CONICET and DAAD, with research at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT, Germany) and the Interdisciplinary Center of Marseille (France).
Currently, Dr. Bajales Luna is an Independent Researcher at IFEG (CONICET-UNC) and an Adjunct Professor at FAMAF. She has participated in thesis committees and is a guest editor of the journal “Recent Advances in 2D Material-Based Membranes” of MDPI. His work focuses on nanoscience and nanotechnology of carbon-based compounds, nanostructured metal oxides and nanomagnetism, collaborating with both national and international research groups.
