It is with great honor and sincere satisfaction that I address you as the Director of the Laboratory of Materials and Catalysis, a research structure that was officially established and accredited in the year 2000. Since its creation, the laboratory has made continuous progress in the fields of materials science and applied catalysis.

For over two decades, our laboratory has been actively engaged in both fundamental and applied research, with the objective of addressing current scientific, technological, and environmental challenges. Thanks to the synergy between faculty researchers, doctoral students, and institutional and industrial partners, we have successfully carried out numerous innovative research projects, while also ensuring high-quality training for future generations of scientists.

Our research areas, focused on the synthesis, characterization, and application of catalytic and adsorbent materials, have made it possible to valorize local resources, offer solutions to environmental issues, and contribute to both national and international scientific visibility.

I would like to extend my sincere thanks to all members of the laboratory for their commitment, rigor, and collaborative spirit, which are the true pillars of our success. I also express my hope that our laboratory will continue to be a dynamic space for reflection, innovation, and knowledge transfer.

Together, let us pursue this rewarding scientific journey.
