Today, Cecilia “Chechu” Zaza defended her Ph. D. thesis “Impresión óptica de nanopartículas de silicio y métodos para medir temperatura con resolución espacial en la nanoescala”, obtaining the highest grade from the jury Dr. Gustavo Grinblat, Dr. Ana Sol Peinetti, and Dr. Ana María Huergo.
Chechu joined the group in 2017 to work on her Ph.D. studying the generation and measurement of temperature gradients at the nanoscale. She developed the size-selective optical printing of silicon nanoparticles and two different approaches suitable for the measurement of temperature gradients at the nanoscale using DNA origami and DNA-PAINT imaging.
Cecilia´s work has involved interdisciplinary collaborations the groups of Prof. Guillermo Acuna at the University of Fribourg (Switzerland), Prof. Stefan Maier and Prof. Emiliano Cortes at the LMU Munich (Germany), and Prof. Juan José Sáenz at the Donostia International Physics Center (Spain), among others.
Dra. Ana María Huergo, Dra. Ana Sol Peinetti, Dr. Gustavo Grinblat, Dra. Cecilia Zaza, Dr. Fernando D. Stefani
Chechu has been a great researcher and team mate for all of us. She will now go for a postdoc stay with Prof. Sabrina Simoncelli at the University College London (UK)
Congratulations Chechu! And best of luck in your new projects!
