Over the past two years researchers from the Centre de Recerca Matemática in Barcelona and Centre d’Elaboration de Materiaux et d’Etudes Structurales, Toulouse have been developing the mathematical theory and experimental techniques to view nanoparticles with visible light. The reason we can see objects (that are not producing light themselves) […]
Read moreThe Centre de Recerca Matemàtica (CRM) welcomes expressions of interest from excellent postdoctoral researchers interested in applying for a European Commission Marie Skłodowska-Curie Individual Fellowship (MSCA IF), with a research project to be carried out at one of the CRM groups: Complex Systems, Principal Investigator (PI) Alvaro Corral (acorral@crm.cat) Computational & Mathematical Biology, […]

The grants are available for 2-3 years. Candidates must have obtained their PhD between 1st January 2011 and 31st December 2016, see Beatriu de Pinos call The topic […]
Read moreThe Industrial Mathematics Research Group (IMRG) at the Centre de Recerca Matematica has been selected as one of the groups to benefit from the doctoral fellowship programme INPhINIT funded by the La Caixa Foundation. The programme is devoted to attracting talented Early-Stage Researchers—of any nationality—who wish to pursue doctoral studies […]
Read moreby Mario Fernández-Pendás, Simone Rusconi, Elena Akhmatskaya, BCAM In the recent decades the widespread availability of powerful computers allowed to numerically solve problems arising in Materials Sciences, Biosciences, Geophysics, Economics, that will eventually contribute to public health, medicine, industry, environment and society. Addressing these tasks has been the mission of Modelling […]
Read moreBy Henar Herrero (Universidad de Castilla-La Mancha), in collaboration with Damián Castaño y María Cruz Navarro. There are different atmospheric phenomena with the common factor of vortex dynamics, from small events such as dust devils (figure 1) and tornadoes, to large events as hurricanes and cyclones [4,5]. Thermal convection is […]
Read moreFourier’s law has been used to successfully describe heat transport for over 200 years. However, it is known that it leads to inaccuracies at extremely short time scales or at very small length scales. For example, experiments of laser heating of ultrathin layers or simulations of heat transport in solids […]
Read moreNanoparticles are units of matter with dimensions between 1 and 100 nanometers (nm) that have gained a lot of interest during the last decades, due to their wide variety of applications in biomedicine, environmental-related problems, electronics and catalysis. They have unique chemical, physical, mechanical, and optical properties that naturally […]
Read moreLast May I visited the Centre de Recerca Matemàtica (CRM), a research institute located on the campus of the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, Spain. I am a PhD candidate at the University of Limerick, Ireland and this international trip was my second visit to the CRM to work with my […]
