Modification of the morphology of materials surfaces and synthesis of nanoparticles in solids using ionic beams. Also, nanometric structures ordered by lithography with nanospheres are designed and manufactured.
Spectroscopic characterization of cultural heritage: archaeological, geological, artistic objects, natural substances, and synthetic substances.
Basic investigation of the properties of dosimetric materials exposed to densely ionizing radiation, based on atomic and molecular simulations and experiments.
Optimization and dosimetry of preclinical imaging techniques -microPET / SPECT / CT, ultrasound- and clinical imaging -mamography, nuclear medicine, ultrasound- for the detection and treatment of diseases. Also, drug / radionuclide delivery systems and contrast media are developed in living beings.
Instrumentation development and implementation of molecular imaging techniques, based on new detectors and algorithms, applied to the study of small animals and the mammary gland.
Monte Carlo simulation (PENELOPE, GATE, EGSnrc) of ionizing radiation transport in matter and its applications in imaging and radiotherapy. Also, radiochromic and numerical film dosimetry.
Study of galactic and extra-galactic sources of very high energy gamma rays.
Study of cosmic rays at energies from 1 TeV to 1 PeV.
Studies on the production and interaction dynamics of cores and anticores in the international projects ALICE, AMS and ISSCREAM.
Development of instrumentation for nuclear studies and its various applications, including muon imaging.
