El laboratori de materials nanoestructurats i nanocomposites (LM2N) es centra en la síntesi i el desenvolupament de nous materials nanoestructurats en estat sòlid mitjançant enfocaments químics de baix a dalt en solució. La investigació del grup es pot dividir en dues línies principals relacionades amb la síntesi de A) nanocristalls semiconductors amb propietats òptiques, electròniques i / o tèrmiques d’interès i B) nanocristalls magnètics amb anisotropia o activitat magnetoòptica millorada.
