Photonic sciences researchers wanted

The Institute of Photonic Sciences (ICFO) powered by the UPC (Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya) is attracting leading researchers from all over the world, as is the case of  F. Koppens, a Dutch scientist coming from the Harvard University and specialised in nanophotonics and quantum optics. Koppens is interested in studying the optical properties of a newly discovered material, graphene, which allows building 1-atom-thick layers of carbon atoms and whose features seem to be very important for the manufacture of future high-performance electronic devices. Melike Lakadamyali (from Harvard too) and Gerasmos Konstantaos (from University of Toronto, Canada) also came to Barcelona to join the ICFO for also working in this subject.
