Characterization of nanoparticles, nanostructures and/or colloid suspensions of nanoparticles: Composition (chemical analysis), structure (UV-Vis, NIR,XPS, FTIR, TEM), surfaces and magnetic properties (VSM, SQUID)
Production of nanoparticles using wet synthesis.
Synthesis of nanoparticles and nanostructures using laser-induced pyrolysis from precursors in the vapor phase, aerosols and controlled gas and liquid mixtures; the final product can be supplied as either a solid form (powders) or a stable colloidal dispersion

Design, fabrication and encapsulation of microelectrodes (based on gold or platinum) on different rigid (Si, SiC or Pyrex) or flexible polymeric substrates.
Thin layer deposition of: Au, Al, Ti, Cr, SiO2, etc.)
Fabrication of Chromium masks
Manufacturing of micro- and nano-structures using e-beam lithography in combination with other cleanroom techniques.
Topographical and morphological characterization of samples (nanostructures, materials, cells, tissues, etc.).
