The Professor of Optics Francisco González Fernández has taken up his post this morning as Director of the Department of Applied Physics at the University of Cantabria (UC), replacing Professor Fernando Moreno Gracia.
"The University of Cantabria has celebrated this Monday the award ceremony of the Research Awards Social Council and the Business Collaboration Award of the Leonardo Torres Quevedo Foundation.
D. from the University of Cantabria in 1984 and Professor of Optics at the same university since 2002, Professor González Fernández's lines of research have been in fields such as Spectroscopy, Scattering of electromagnetic radiation by rough surfaces and microparticles, Physiological Optics, Colorimetry and, for the last 15 years, Nanophotonics, analysing the electromagnetic behaviour of metallic and dielectric nanostructures with applications in biomedicine, photocatalytic processes, the control of the directionality of 'diffused' radiation, etc.
He is co-author of more than 150 articles, 200 conference papers and 6 patents. For more than twenty years, he has been collaborating with researchers from international centres such as the Fresnel Institute in Marseille (France), CNR - NANOTEC, Bari (Italy), Duke University (USA) and the Army Research Laboratory (Maryland, USA).
