– Laboratory astrochemistry. In collaboration with astronomers, we try to mimic processes that takes place in red-giant stars, supernovae or nebulae, using UHV technologies and surface science characterization techniques. This research line is framed on the NANOCOSMOS project
– Surface astrophysics and nanophotonics. Profiting from advanced surface science characterization techniques we model the interaction, reactivity, and luminescence of aromatic-aliphatic molecules on interstellar dust grains.
