About Institute of Advanced Materials at Universitat Jaume I
The Universitat Jaume I (UJI) is a young university whose mission is to further knowledge by conducting high-quality research that is capable of reaching society, as well as attracting research talent and external funding. Since 1991, UJI has earned a reputation for serious and relevant scientific work which has allowed it to be included in tier 601-700 of the top universities in the world according to the Shanghai Ranking of 2023 and among the exclusive group of the best young universities in the world according to the Times Higher Education (THE) Young University Ranking 2023.
In addition, the UJI Science, Technology and Business Park provides a singular environment allowing for companies and research groups to interact and for the creation of knowledge transfer, innovation and entrepreneurship programmes.
The Research Institute of Advanced Materials (INAM) at the University Jaume I is a center of research in interdisciplinary science and technology in the fields of physics, chemistry, and related fields, applied to advanced materials, with vocation towards the progress of the socioeconomic environment and scientific excellence with international influence and impact. INAM is oriented towards excellent science on fundamentals and theory, being focused on applications. In order to achieve substantial innovations, INAM will strengthen fundamental research for understanding and unravelling basic processes, as well as the physical and chemical interactions of molecules and materials. The results of applied nature will be transferred to the productive system to contribute to an economy based on creativity and improvement of living conditions. Therefore, INAM will promote substantial advances in the frontiers of knowledge and likewise support new production lines.
Role within SUPERLASER
INAM-UJI is the leader of Work Package 7 regarding Lifecycle Analysis and Sustainability Validation. In this WP our main task will be the calculation of life cycle of embodied materials and processes and the analysis of the sustainability of the developed technology. In addition, we are strongly involved in tasks focusing on the fabrication of halide perovskite superlattices. Our main task here will be the development of superlattices based on Pb-free perovskites mostly based on Sn.
