UNM METALS RESEARCHER RECEIVES FULLBRIGHT


Dr. José Cerrato, METALS Environmental Project 1 PI, received a Fulbright Scholarship to conduct research with collaborators in Spain on novel methods of detecting contaminants in water. His travel is expected to begin in spring 2021.

Dr. Cerrato's Fulbright project will integrate the expertise and facilities at the Electrochemistry Institute at the University of Alicante with advanced spectroscopy and materials at UNM to develop electrochemical sensors for detecting metal contamination in water near mining legacy sites.
