NanoTbTech
FET-Open Research and Innovation Actions
The goal of NanoTBTech is to develop a 2-D thermal bioimaging technology featuring submicroscale resolution, based on nanothermometers and heater-thermometer nanostructures. The project comprises the design, synthesis, and bio-functionalization of nontoxic luminescent nanostructures, operating essentially beyond 1000 nm, for in vivo nanothermometry and nanoheating. Furthermore, to monitor the temperature-dependent nanostructures’ luminescence a novel imaging system will be developed. The effective delivery of that major advance in 2-D thermal bioimaging will be implemented through two impactful biomedical showcases: highly spatially-modulated intracellular magnetic/optical hyperthermia and in vivo detection and tracking of cancer.
NanoTBTech’s partners are: University of Aveiro/CICECO (PI: L. D. Carlos), Fundacion para la Investigacion Biomedica del Hospital Universitario Ramon Y Cajal (Madrid) and CSIC (Instituto de Ciencia de Materiales de Aragón, University of Zaragoza), Spain, Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (Paris), France, INSTITUT ZA NUKLEARNE NAUKE VINCA (Belgrade), Serbia, Trzebiatowski Institute of Low Temperature and Structural Research, Polish Academy of Sciences (Wrocław), Poland, Universiteit Utrecht, Netherlands and two companies, NANOIMMUNOTECH S, Spain, and BIOSPACE LAB, France.

FUN GLASS
H2020-MSCA-RISE-2018, GA:823941
The scientific objective of the project FUNGLASS- FUNctional GLASS integration in photonic devices and components- addresses one of the most crucial challenges in research and innovation which lies in the design and manufacturing of optical components and systems. Among the materials used in photonic devices, glasses play a central role: they are used as laser sources, lenses, smart screen, optical fibers and specialty fibers to name a few. FUNGLASS breakthrough relies on the control of nano/micro processing and 3D printing of glass by laser writing or poling, offering extraordinary opportunities for fabrication of elementary building-blocks such as multimaterial optical fibers with unique topology, morphology and novel properties for the design of integrated multifunctional components and devices.
FUNGLASS proposes interdisciplinary European scale staff exchange programme with unique positioning on laser/field 3D nano/micro patterning and functionalizing of novel photonic glass materials allowing fabrication of sophisticated components and systems on their own. The involvement of large international centers with state of the art facilities for developing photonics components will enable provision of the required skills for developing a career in the private sector, as an entrepreneur, a CEO, a chief of R&D department etc. The involvement of international experienced and recognized professors, ER, involved in the project will also ensure that ESRs are prepared for a career in research excellence. Moreover, the strong lasting links between those centers allow the popup for an unpreceded international network in photonics and material. This proposal will contribute to sustain this network by the creation of joint unit laboratory between participants.

High performance flexible solar luminescent concentrators for photovoltaic conversion.
University of Aveiro, Instututo de Telecomunicações, Instituto de Química de Araraquara (Sidney Ribeiro, Portugal-Brazil bilateral project with FCT and FAPESP funding).
This project aims to fabricate cylindrical long (meter length), lightweight and mechanically flexible luminescent solar concentrators (LSCs) with unprecedented concentration factos (F>10), through the increase of the exposed area. Two approaches will be followed: production of meter-length LSCs and formation of bundles of LSCs, based on poly(methylmethacrylate) optical fibers with optically active layers.
