🗣️Duarte Magalhães Esteves, a PhD student in Engineering Physics at CTN, Instituto Superior Técnico, and the Institute of Systems and Computer Engineering for Microsystems and Nanotechnologies (INESC-MN), was recently honoured in Madrid, Spain, with the NIMB Young Researcher Award. The award, presented at the 22nd edition of the prestigious international conference ‘Radiation Effects in Insulators’ (REI 2025) and sponsored by the journal Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research Section B (NIMB), published by Elsevier, recognised the scientific quality and impact of his work, entitled ‘Anisotropic structural effects in Cr-implanted β-Ga₂O₃ single-crystals’, in the field of advanced materials. 💡The excellence of the oral presentation highlighted the cutting-edge research currently being carried out at the Campus Tecnológico e Nuclear (CTN), under the guidance of researchers Katharina Lorenz and Marco Peres, in collaboration with the Universities of Helsinki and Oslo, as well as the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf. Their research work contributes to the advancement of knowledge on advanced semiconductor materials, especially on the impact of ion implantation in gallium oxide (β-Ga₂O₃), with great technological potential — a promising semiconductor with future applications in ultraviolet radiation sensors and detectors.   🔗For more information, read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/dY3HBiAd Congratulations to Duarte on his excellent achievement!👏 #TecnicoLisboa #TecnicoLoures #ULisboa #CTN #INESCMN #REI2025 #NIMBAward #PhD #EngineeringPhysicsTechnology #Nanotechnology #AdvancedMaterials #Semiconductors #Radiation #RadiationTechnologies #NuclearSciences #Technology #Innovation #Research #Science #ScienceCommunication
