Producing quality scientific results is increasingly associated with working as part of a team. In fact, in some fields it is fundamental. At BISITE (University of Salamanca) and the AIR Institute, we develop both basic and applied research projects, and we always do it as a team.  In many cases, in collaboration with teams from other research centres and companies. Hard and efficient work usually leads to success in achieving the set objectives and in the development of projects. This is what makes researchers happiest.

Occasionally, we are unexpectedly rewarded for our efforts, when we receive awards and/or recognition. Recently, the Stanford Ranking, which identifies the top 2% of researchers, was released. Thanks to the effort of the whole team that collaborates with me, I have appeared in this ranking, which evaluates the publications of researchers and the impact they have.

I would like to share with you the link to the Stanford publication in which we appear thanks to everyone’s dedication.

Here is the link to an article published by the newspaper News-365 (https://n9.cl/m9v0), about the Stanford ranking, in which I appear together with other colleagues from our University of Salamanca.

Thank you, team all credit goes to you.
