Nominator's project description

Professor Liz-Marzan is one of the leading colloid chemists of Spain of his generation. He found international recognition for his work on shape and structure controlled gold-colloids and their application in plasmonics. During his stay in Germany he will work on organized superstructures of noble metal nanostructures for refined plasmonic devices.
