Betty León Fong has been awarded with the Scientific Woman Award 2024 by the IES Val Miñor de Nigrán. The award ceremony took place this Monday at the school, with the participation of the general director of Educational Planning and Innovation, Judith Fernández.
It is a well-deserved award, given for her outstanding contribution to research and her tireless work to promote scientific vocations, especially among women. Since the creation of the New Materials research group in 1982 at the University of Vigo, she has led innovative research in areas such as industrial applications of lasers and biomaterials for bone implants.
His recent lecture at IES Val Miñor, entitled ‘Applied physics is great fun’, reflects his passion for science and his commitment to inspire future generations of researchers. We are honoured to have his invaluable contribution as a member of our group.
