I'm happy to share one of my latest publications published in Physical Review Letters. This was a team effort, years in the making, that bridged my former institution @mpi_polymer and my current institution Universidad Técnica Federico Santa María:

A new 4-year adventure begins. My lab will be working on piezoelectric nanofibers and their applications as biomaterials. Happy to have been awarded this fund to continue working together with @ANID_Chile at @FisicaUTFSM@usantamaria.
Accede a la lista preliminar de proyectos propuestos para adjudicación en la convocatoria #FondecytRegular 2025 en: https://t.co/YR3CGbcgOt
ℹ️ El documento definitivo será oficializado por ANID una vez concluida la tramitación correspondiente.

Recomiendo fuertemente este artículo que nos invita a reflexionar sobre las inequidades en la investigación científica, y en particular sobre que podemos hacer en nuestros países del sur global.
