The Nobel Laureate Shuji Nakamura Honored by the International University Menendez Pelayo in Spain

The Menendez Pelayo International University, UIMP, will vested Doctor Honoris Causa” to Prof. Nakamura who is the inventor of efficient blue lightemitting diodes which has enabled bright and energy-saving white light sources. He will receive this distinction during the second edition of the International School on Light Sciences and Technologies (ISLiST) that will held on June 2017 in Santander, Spain.


This prestigious international institution (recognized as the University of Universities) will confer an honorary doctorate to Prof. Nakamura by unanimous agreement of its Governing Council, who wanted to recognize his relevant contributions to the sciences and technologies of light (Photonics field) and, in particular, in its area of semiconductor optical sources.
 
Prof. Nakamura (Ehime, Japan) the current co-Director of the Solid State Lighting & Energy Electronics Center is Professor of Materials and The Cree Professor in Solid State Lighting and Display. His research includes MOCVD, HVPE, and growth and device fabrication of light-emitters based on the wide-bandgap semiconductor indium gallium nitride (InGaN). He is the recipient of the 2006 Millennium Technology Prize for his invention of revolutionary new energy-saving light sources and the 2014 Nobel Laureate in Physics for the invention of efficient blue lightemitting diodes which has enabled bright and energy-saving white light sources. He is named the 2015 Global Energy Prize recipient for the invention, commercialization and development of energy-efficient white LED lighting technology. Professor Nakamura had also received numerous awards for his work, including the Nishina Memorial Award (1996), the Materials Research Society Medal Award (1997), the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Jack A. Morton Award, the British Rank Prize (1998), the Benjamin Franklin Medal Award (2002), the Czochralski Award (2007), the Prince of Asturias Award for Technical Scientific Research (2008), The Harvey Award (2009), and the Technology & Engineering Emmy Award (2012) awarded by The National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (NATAS). He was elected as a fellow of the U.S. National Academy of Engineering in 2003.Prof. Nakamura received the 2014 Order of Culture Award in Japan. He was inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame in 2015. He received the 2015 Charles Stark Draper Prize for Engineering.

El Grupo de Ingeniería Fotónica ingresará en el Centro de Investigación Biomédica en Red del ISCIII español

El Grupo de Ingeniería Fotónica de la Universidad de Cantabria ingresará en el CIBER-BBN del Instituto de Salud Carlos III principal Organismo Público de Investigación que financia, gestiona y ejecuta la investigación biomédica en España. Es la primera vez que un grupo investigador de Cantabria aparecerá en el área temática de Bioingeniería, Biomateriales y Nanomedicina (BBN) del Centro de Investigación Biomédica en Red (CIBER). El ingreso se logra consecuencia de que en convocatoria pública competitiva al proyecto liderado por José Miguel López-Higuera (responsable del citado grupo) ha recibido la máxima calificación.

Bajo la dirección del citado investigador ramaliego, el Grupo de la UC iniciará el desarrollo de un proyecto centrado en utilizar Ciencia y Tecnologías de la Luz para la Salud y la Vida.

Grupo de Ingeniería Fotónica liderado por el Profesors López-Higuera

Los investigadores de la institución académica contribuirán a mejorar el diagnóstico y la terapia médica generando nuevo conocimiento y técnica en cuatro líneas estratégicas: a) nuevas herramientas de diagnóstico médico basadas en técnicas de imagen fotónica; b) nuevos sensores y dispositivos para mejor el diagnóstico y seguimiento de los pacientes; c) fabricación mediante láser intensos de micro-nano estructuras para diagnóstico y terapia y d) desarrollo de nuevos dispositivos y sistemas ópticos para garantizar la seguridad y calidad de alimentos.
