Since its creation in 2007, IMDEA Materials Alumni community has done nothing but grow. Two of the pillars that define the culture of our institution, performing excellent research in materials science and engineering and transferring our knowledge and technology to the industry, are the principles that propel the transfer of our PhD students and post-doctoral researchers to the best academic institutions and companies worldwide. On the right, a sample of the destinations of our Alumni is depicted.
When former IMDEA Materiales Institute researcher, Dr. Nathamar Dudamell received a call from the City Council of Humanes de Madrid, her home for the past 15 years, she initially expected the worst.
Senior Computer-Aided Engineering (CAE) Project Engineer, Dr. Sergio Sadaba, believes researchers could finally be reaching an inflection point in the development of nuclear fusion reactor technology.
While most postdoctoral researchers dedicate their careers to either industry or academia, IMDEA Materials alumni Dr. Miguel Herráez decided to forge his own, more entrepreneurial, path.
Dr. Paloma Hidalgo’s career has gone from working ostronger magnesium alloys for the transport industry in her first postdoctoral position to her latest project related to biodegradable magnesium implants.
Since the earliest stages of his scientific career, Dr. Pablo Romero has been searching for the perfect balance between his twin passions of conducting fundamental research and seeing it applied in the real world.
Given IMDEA Materials Institute only opened its doors in 2007, there haven’t yet been many opportunities for multiple generations of the same family to join its ranks. The Falcó family is one exception.
