CV in PDf (19 KB, updated May 2007)
Miquel Salmeron leads a group of Ph.D. students, postdoctoral fellows and visiting scientists in 12 research projects studying the atomic scale properties of surfaces. He has published about 360 refereed journal articles and book chapters, and presented 408 papers, of which 226 were invited, at scientific and general public meetings. He serves on the Editorial Advisory Board of Tribology Letters, and is a Fellow in the American Physical Society. He received the Sustained Outstanding Research Award in the Materials Chemistry Category as part of the 1996 U.S. Department of Energy Materials Sciences Research Competition, and the Outstanding Scientific Accomplishment Award in the same competition in 1995. He has also been a visiting professor at the University of Barcelona, Spain, an assistant professor at the Universidad Autonoma de Madrid, Spain, and has taught at the University of California at Berkeley
