Research talk with Alberto Cuevas Rodridguez. How dual frequency laser combs work and the well known status of Marie Curie programmes

Season 1 · Episode 5

Friday, January 14, 2022 • Duration 44:47

Is a career in research for you? Even if you're not sure YET, a Marie Curie PhD programme could be just the thing, as you spend time in industry too, applying your knowledge to real life scenarios. Alberto who is from Spain is a researcher for MEFISTA at Aston University UK and articulately talks about Marie Curie, lasers and their uses and the research life. Research takes time, if you have the skills and aptitude, it's worth it. Alberto also used to in chemical engineering but made the switch physics!
