HALZEOCAT-CM News – June 2026
June was an especially active month for the HALZEOCAT-CM partners, with new team members, international research stays, and participation in major scientific activities.
International Research Stay
Dr. Carolina Belver is carrying out a research stay at Arizona State University between June and August 2026. During this period, she will work on new approaches for water treatment using Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOPs), strengthening international collaboration and knowledge exchange in key research areas of the project.
New Team Members
Dr. Fuwen Liu has joined the SUNFLOW research group at the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (UAM). Coming from the Shanghai Institute of Technology, she specializes in advanced technologies for environmental remediation.
In addition, since June 1st, Dr. Lorena Gudiño Gutiérrez has joined the SUNFLOW group at the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (UAM) as a postdoctoral researcher, where she will develop new catalytic strategies for the removal of emerging contaminants from water.
Scientific Activities
Miguel Camblor conducted the seminar Zeolite Discovery. Direct Hydrothermal Synthesis and Beyond: Interchain Expansion and Topotactic Condensation at Stockholm University, presenting recent advances in zeolite synthesis. He has also been invited as a Keynote Lecturer at NanoSpain 2026.
He also published the article Recent Synthesis Routes to Previously Inaccessible Zeolite Porosity: From Ultra-Small Pore to Ultra-Porous Materials in ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, acknowledging funding from HALZEOCAT-CM.
