The Selection Committee of the Lindau Nobel Meeting has selected Guillermo Minguez, a researcher at the Institute for Molecular Science at the Science Park of the University of Valencia for the 63rd meeting of the Lindau Nobel Chemistry Meeting, an event that brings together Nobel laureates and young scientists in an informal and open environment. The meeting will be held from 30 June to 5 July, 2013 in Lindau (Germany).
Guillermo Minguez is one of the 23 Spanish researchers selected to participate in this annual event, which has been running since 1951 and brings together Nobel laureates and young scientists in an informal and open environment. The Lindau Nobel Meeting will gather this year 34 Nobel Laureates and 600 young researchers from around the world, an excellent opportunity to exchange knowledge and ideas, share the enthusiasm for science and establish new contacts. The appointment will be from 30 June to 5 July in Lindau (Germany).
After the regular alternation of different scientific disciplines, the Lindau Meeting this year will focus Chemistry and will address, among other things, Green Chemistry and Biochemistry. Conferences, lectures and round tables will be featured in this casual meeting in an unrestricted environment that characterizes the "Lindau spirit".
Guillermo Minguez graduated in Chemistry from the University of Sevilla in 2004 with Honors and Second National Award, and holds a Ph.D in Solid State Inorganic Chemistry from the University of Sheffield (United Kingdom), for which he received in 2008 the Gold Medal of "European Young Chemist Award". His international projection was rewarded for the first time in 2007 with the "Ludo Frevel Scolarship Crystallography Award" from the International Centre for Diffracton Data, and the only European to be awarded that year. In addition, the high quality of the scientific work done by Minguez is evident after receiving the "Dalton Young Research Award" from the Royal Society of Chemistry (2009) in recognition of his research in Inorganic Chemistry, the "Young Investigator Award 2010' from the Seville Royal Academy of Sciences, and most recently the "Xavier Solans Award 2011" for the best work in Crystallography.
In 2009 he joined with a Juan de la Cierva contract the group of Professor Eugenio Coronado at the Institute for Molecular Science of the University of Valencia, in the Science Park, where he is currently studying solid state transformations that cause changes in the magnetic properties of multifunctional materials.
