I hope you enjoy reading ! 🙂 A Universidade da Coruña incorpora un …

Logroño Marathon 2023

I made my debut in the marathon distance in the city of Logroño (La Rioja, Spain), with about 16 weeks of preparation throughout the summer. My pace was more optimistic than it should have been and I paid for it in the final part of the race with a substantial meltdown. It was very hot …

Instead of swimming, we did a 200 meters running circuit on the beach followed by a quick transition to the bike leg …

Efficient photovoltaics: more (light) with less (material)

Absorb more light while using less material. This constitutes one of the most complicated milestones in the field of organic photovoltaics due to its practical implications: improving the efficiency of solar cells, (potentially) their stability and their semi-transparency to the human eye. Now, the achievement of such milestone seems to be closer than ever.

Olympic Distance Linköping Triathlon 2022

After 352 days since my last triathlon (middle distance Bauer Triathlon 2021 in Sweden), the Olympic Distance Linköping Triathlon began sharply at 12:15PM, in a sunny yet somehow windy National Day of Sweden (June 6th). A beautiful swim portion of 1500 meters divided into two laps started at Stångån, the canal/river that runs through Linköping, …

Short radio interview in RNE

Mariano Campoy-Quiles (as principal investigator) and me (as main researcher of the work) have been recently interviewed at the radio program A hombros de gigantes (Radio Nacional and RNE 5) to briefly disseminate the main results of our latest study about artificial intelligence applied to predict the performance of organic solar cells – thanks to …
