Excellent disertation to present the work of his last 4 years. Dr. Sánchez de la Fuente will start his new profesional adventure at SARI company in Rubí (Barcelona). Well done!

PiMPaM research presented in Chile (4-8/08/2025).

Rubén presented 3 talks at Universidad Adolfo Ibánez (Viña del Mar) and Universidad de Chile (Santiago de Chile). 4, 6 and 8 of august. What a beginning of summertime!

2025-PiMPaM BBQ (18/07/2025)

At the "applications in energy and biomedicine" summer school (11/07/2025)

Rubén gave the talk “Photocatalytic materials: Solutions to Energy and Environmental Problems” at the summer school in the “cristalera”. Mixed Chinese and Spanish students attended to the talks.

At the Spanish Royal Society biannual meeting (30/06/2025-03/07/2025)

Rubén gave the talk “Structure-activity relationships in quinoline-based organic materials with divergent photocatalytic properties”. Four days of nice science in Bilbao surrounded of good friends.

19/06/2025: Congratulations Alicia!!

A 5-year Ramón y Cajal excellence contract has been awarded to Alicia Moya. Well deserved! let's celebrate!

01/04/2025: More funding from Europe!!!

PiMPaM participates in a MSCA Industrial Network through the project UP2MEM (Materials UP-cycling TO fabricate advanced MEMbrane technologies for water and food industries: towards zero waste and a circular economy). In this network, 9 countries, 11 Universities, and 14 companies will participate in a project of 4.5 M€ in which 15 PhD students will be involved.

1 PhD student will join PiMPaM group, directly supervised by Mario Borlaf (PI), with the senior members Sonia Bruña and Rubén Mas both participating as mentors.

The Network is coordinated by the researcher Víctor M. Candelario, from Universidad de Sevilla (US).

01/03/2025: New funding.

Mario Borlaf (PI) and Rubén Mas will participate in one of the recommended projects from the M-Era.Net 2024 call: “Innovation in complex structures combining 3D Microvilli-based materials and active coating and interfaces to disrupt high-capacity filtration systems” (CERMIC)

17/02/2025: Kick-off meeting of projects carried out by many undergraduate students

PiMPaM is recognized as consolidated research group in the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid

17/07/2023: Research funds renewed

We have just been awarded a project presented in the last call for "Proyectos Generación de Conocimiento" from the Spanish government. In PHOTOCOF4WATER (ref. PID2022-141016OB-I00) we will carry out the synthesis and characterization of new covalent organic framework type materials, and we will study their applications for the photoremediation of contaminated water. More Science is coming!
