We are pleased to share the release of our new book: "Calorimetric Methods for the Characterization of Porous Materials", Authored by: Juan Carlos Moreno-Piraján, Liliana Giraldo, Fernando Gomez-Granados, Diana Hernández-Monje. Click in the following icon

*	Our PhD student, Diego Hernández, succesfully made his doctoral internship at NAFMAT group at Conditions Extremes et Materiaux: Haute Temperature et Irradiation from CNRS, Orleans - France, and at Catalysis Laboratory from Universiada de Málaga, Spain. He developed skills working with photocatalytic systems, dynamic adsorption systems, and characterization techniques such as XPS and SS-NMR.
*	Our PhD student, Oscar Fonseca, succesfully made his doctoral internship at Ceará University- Fortaleza, Brazil. He developed skills working with high pressure adsorption systems of methane, carbon dioxide and hydrogen.

We congratulate Dr. Diana Hernández for her Doctoral Thesis dissertation. We wish Dr. Hernández success in this new phase of her professional life. We want to share a note that was published in the web page of Universidad Nacional de Colombia, related to Dr. Hernández's work. Click in the icon below

We are please to invite you to the "Congreso de Adsorción de la AMDA 2023" ("AMDA 2023 Adsorption Congress"), organized by Asociación Mexicana de Adsorción. The event will take place from November 8th to 10th of 2023 at the University of Guanajuato, México. In addition, our Group director, Professor Juan Carlos Moreno Piraján is invited as a keynote speaker. The Congress aims to bring together professionals, researchers, and enthusiasts in the field of adsorption to establish and strengthen collaborative spaces. We believe that by coming together in person, we can foster meaningful interactions and exchange valuable knowledge.

*	Two of our postgraduate students participated in the World Conference on Carbon 2023, which took place in Riviera Maya, México, between 16th and 21st of July of 2023.
*	They presented their work in oral and in poster presentation; and their extended abstracts were classified in the 20 best latinamerican works among 100 participants.
*	Here are some photographs of the conference
