Asier García González

Asier García obtained his BSc degree in Physics at the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (UAM, Spain) in 2023. He is now studying for an MSc degree in Physics of Condensed Matter and Biological Systems at the same university. During his senior year, Asier obtained a research grant from the Nicolás Cabrera Institute in collaboration with the applied physics department of the UAM. There, he worked on a project on synthesizing and characterizing iron oxide nanoparticle-based composites for lithium-ion batteries, where he worked with a bunch of characterization techniques such as electron microscopy (FESEM and TEM), OCT, and DLS. He joined IMDEA Nanociencia in October 2023 to work on the “Elucidation of photostability mechanisms in engineered photosystems” project for his MSc thesis. He started in October 2024 his PhD to explore the effect of amino acids in the photoinduced electron transfer.
