• Developed novel biomaterials and glass coatings for dental implants. Successfully steered and completed pre-clinical animal trials. Product commercialisation ongoing. • Developed novel biocerments based on biocompatible ceramic matrix containing nanometals (Ta, Nb) to improve biocompatibility and mechanical properties.

 Principal project scientist for Grupo Keraben S. A. • Created antibacterial glazing (based on Ag and Cu nanoparticles) for ceramic tiles with product launched by Grupo Keraben S. A.  Principal project scientist for Saint Gobain S. A. • Developed pigment-free inks based on glasses containing nanoparticles. • Created novel glass compositions according to different application requirements (food packages, tooth paste, pesticides…).
