Miguel Jose YacamanLecture Title: "The Role of Particles Nanosized from Nanostructured Materials to Environmental Problems"Biography: Miguel Jose Yacaman is affiliated with the Instituto de Fisica. He earned his B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. in physics of materials at the National University of Mexico in 1968, 1971, and 1973, respectively. During his career, he has been a researcher at the Institute of Physics of UNAM, where he was director from 1983-1991. He has made pioneering work on the electron microscopy characterization of crystal structures and the shape of metallic particles of nanometric size on the growth of nanostructured materials and in characterization-supported metal catalysts. The group he established at the Institute of Physics became one of the first Latin American research groups recognized on the world level. He has written or cowritten more than 200 technical papers and five books. He is associate editor of numerous journals and has served on many international committees. He has held the Guggengheim Fellowship and received numerous awards. |
