Alejandro Romero Ros Receives IEC Honorary Mention for his doctoral thesis

Alejandro Romero Ros, a former postdoctoral researcher at the Institute of Cosmos Sciences of the University of Barcelona (ICCUB) and currently an external collaborator of the institute, has been awarded an Honorary Mention from the Institute of Catalan Studies (IEC) Section of Science and Technology in the field of Physical Sciences, in honor of Montserrat Casas.

The distinction recognizes his doctoral thesis, entitled On the Controlled Generation of Nonlinear Structures in Bose–Einstein Condensates, which he defended at the University of Hamburg in 2024. His work focuses on the study and control of nonlinear structures in Bose–Einstein condensates, a key topic in quantum physics and ultracold matter with both fundamental and applied implications.

The Sant Jordi Awards 2026 of the Institute of Catalan Studies (IEC) annually recognize excellence across a wide range of academic disciplines and are among the most prestigious distinctions in the Catalan academic landscape.

At ICCUB, we warmly congratulate Alejandro Romero Ros on this achievement, which highlights the quality of his research and his scientific trajectory.
