  • Honors & Awards

    • Awarded to Jorge Botana
      Research Fund for International Young Scientists National Natural Science Foundation of China Aug 2018 Project awarded for 2019-2020In this project we will apply computer simulation methods to design stable, oxide-based metallic compounds that can potentially be used as catalytic or photoluminescent materials. The best candidates for each property will be further studied, and their catalytic or photoluminescent properties will be estimated.
