Prof. D. Hermenegildo García Gómez Xoves, 22-11-2007 (50 años), Catedrático de Universidad in Organic Chemistry (since 1996). It is staff member of Instituto universitario de Tecnología Química CSIC-UPV of the Universidad Politécnica de Valencia. He studied Chemistry at the Faculty of Science of the Universidad de Valencia (Spain) where he graduated in 1979 with Honors. He did his PhD on preparative organic photochemistry under the guidance of Prof. Miguel A. Miranda and was awarded also with Honors by the Universidad de Valencia in 1983. Then, he moved to the Technical University of Valencia where he initiated his career in 1983 first as Assistant Professor, becoming finally Full Professor in 1996. In 1991 he was appointed member of the Institute of Chemical Technology, a joint centre depending on the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) and the Technical University of Valencia that was founded at this year. He did a postdoctoral stay at the Chemistry Department of the University of Reading (U.K.) with Prof. Andrew Gilbert in 1987, and latter three successive sabbatical leaves in 1992-1993 (one year), 1995 (six months) and 2000 (three months) at the University of Ottawa joining the Laser Flash Photolysis group leaded by Prof. J.C. (Tito) Scaiano. He has co-authored over 250 papers most of them dealing with the application of zeolites as hosts of organic guests and as solid catalysts. He held five international patents, one of them in commercial application. His main current interests are in supramolecular photochemistry and photocatalysis, development of photoactive nanoscopic materials and heterogeneous catalysis.

Prof. D. Marcos Mariño Beiras Sábado, 24-11-2007 Naceu en Santiago de Compostela en 1970. Licenciouse en Física na Universidade desta cidade, en 1993, e doutorouse en 1996 no Departamento de Física de Partículas da mesma Universidade. Entre 1997 e 2003 foi investigador nas universidades de Yale(1997-2000), Rutgers (2000-2001) e Harvard (2001-2003), en Estados Unidos. Desde abril de 2003 e membro do Departamento de Fisica do CERN (Centro Europeo de Investigacions Nucleares), en Xenebra (Suiza). En outono deste ano (2007) foi nomeado catedratico de Fisica Matematica na Universidade de Xenebra. O seu traballo centrase na teoria cuantica de campos, a teoria de cordas, a gravidade cuantica, e as interaccions entre a fisica moderna e as matematicas. E autor de mais de cincuenta artigos de investigacion en fisica e matematicas, e de dous libros especializados ("Chern-Simons theory, matrix models and topological strings", publicado por Oxford University Press, e "Topological quantum field theory and four manifolds", publicado por Springer Verlag, este ultimo en colaboracion con J. Labastida). E autor asimesmo dun libro de entrevistas en galego, escrito en colaboracion con Araceli Varela, e titulado "A man esquerda" (Edicions Laiovento). |
