The Institute of Microelectronics of Barcelona (IMB-CNM-CSIC) inaugurates a new cycle with a change in the Management, which incorporates researcher Luis Fonseca as the new director of the center, and Dr. Mar Álvarez and Dr. Xavier Jordà as deputy directors.
All three have a long history of research within the center, Fonseca in the MESSI group, Álvarez in GAB and Jordà in PDS.
