Prof. Maria Dolors Baró, Head of Physics of Materials II Group, and Professor of Applied Physics of the Department of Physics, UAB, Spain. Her current research activity is based on the study of basic properties of nanostructured functional materials, mainly magnetic and structural. She has wide experience acting as co-ordinator or partner group leader in European, national and regional projects. She participates in advanced level training courses, supervises several undergraduate, Ph. D. and postdoctoral students and welcomes foreigner visitors for training. She has published more than 200 scientific papers in peer-reviewed journals and edited four books. She is a member of several national and international scientific associations, steering committees and editorial boards and reviewer of many internationals journals. She was awarded the Narcís Monturiol Medal for Scientific and Technological Merit by the Generalitat of Catalonia in 2004.

Experimental Capabilities: In addition to most characterisation equipment available in large university facilities, this group has worked with several generations of calorimetric devices and is equipped with state-of-the-art equipment for isothermal, scanning calorimetry and differentional thermal analysis. Also available are TGA devices, Thermomagnetic balances and various equipment for magnetisation measurements.
