Women’s Day at the Institute of Optics

Divulgación

Madrid / March 8, 2025

Today, March 8, is International Women’s Day. On this day, we want to claim the need for real and effective gender equality in all areas of our society, a goal that corresponds to Sustainable Development Goal 5.

To help achieve this goal, we believe it is important to see women from all professional fields, such as in basic science or physics where there is no lack of vocation, but there is a lack of equal opportunities once a scientific career begins.

These are some of the women who work at the Institute of Optics and who have had the time or opportunity to send their photo.

In the FOTION group there is Nuria Gutiérrez Luna and Paloma López Reyes, this research group develops advanced coatings and measurement techniques aimed at improving the efficiency of optical instruments, as well as studying the optical properties of materials, mainly in the far ultraviolet and extreme ultraviolet.
They also investigate fundamental mechanisms of electronic damage caused in crystals by high-energy heavy ions and the modified optical properties of irradiated materials for new photonic applications.

The VIOBIO group develops imaging techniques for noninvasive in vivo investigation of the normal and pathological eye, the evaluation of ocular surgery and optical corrections, and the design of new correction alternatives.
Pictured here are Lucie Sawides, María Viñas Peña, María del Mar Fernández, Nohelia Morales Martínez, Lupe Villegas, Rocío Gutiérrez Contreras and Elena Rico López.
These are Raquel Caballero Mesa and Luna Lázaro Castrillón, from the PEASER research group (Photonics Research Group for Energy and Sustainability), which carries out cutting-edge fundamental and applied research to achieve clean and affordable energy and sustainable development.
The activity of the Laser Processing Group (LPG) is focused on the study of fundamental and applied aspects of laser-material interaction with the aim of discovering, understanding and controlling these interaction phenomena on extreme spatial and temporal scales (nm and fs).
Here are all the women in the group, Rosalía Serna Galán, Fátima Cabello Pardos, Marina García Pardo, Carlota Ruiz de Galarreta, María del Carmen López González, Mª Eva Nieto Piñero and Irene Solana Ramirez.
Finally, there is Maria Berraquero Garcia from the VMG group. Her current research interests focus on the development of more accurate vision models, with applications in imaging, vision science and computer vision.
