Industrial Labs
In addition to a wide range of joint research projects currently running in collaboration with different types of corporations around the world, ICFO hosts several industrial laboratories.
Corning Surfaces Laboratory
The Corning-ICFO collaboration includes multi-year sponsorship of a Chaired Faculty Professorship, a Corning Surfaces Laboratory, and sponsored research projects of mutual interest. The Chaired Faculty Professorship will be occupied by Professor Valerio Pruneri. The Corning Surfaces Laboratory is designed to host cutting-edge fabrication and characterization equipment. The lab was officially inaugurated in June 2013.
ICFO-QUSIDE Joint Lab in Quantum Processing
ICFO and Quside have established a collaborative framework to foster the development of quantum processing technologies and accelerate their time to market. The Joint Lab in Quantum Processing sets a collaborative framework between Quside’s Advanced Computing Team and ICFO to launch dedicated initiatives.
The Nikon Center of Excellence in Storm
Nikon’s Center of Excellence in super-resolution STORM imaging at ICFO is a unique partnership between ICFO, IZASA and Nikon Instruments Europe. Focusing on STORM super-resolution technology, the center hosts a ground-breaking Nikon motorized inverted microscope ECLIPSE Ti-E with STORM (N-STORM) to push ICFO’s ongoing cutting edge research in this area. This fruitful partnership is being facilitated by Dr. Pablo Loza-Alvarez, head of the Super-resolution Light Microscopy & Nanoscopy Facility at ICFO.
