Pablo Cayado wins prestigious Ramón y Cajal Fellowship in Superconductivity Research

Pablo Cayado, a former member of the Group of Applied Superconductivity, DQMP, UNIGE, has been awarded a Ramón y Cajal Fellowship, one of the most prestigious and competitive research grants in the Spanish scientific system, for a collaborative project between the University of Geneva and Bruker BioSpin on high-temperature superconductors (HTS) for NMR applications.

The Ramón y Cajal Fellowship is granted by the Spanish Ministry of Science through the State Research Agency. It is aimed at researchers with an outstanding track record at both national and international levels. In the 2024 call, only 494 fellowships were awarded out of more than 2,700 applications, with a success rate of around 15–20%, underscoring the program’s selectivity and prestige in Spain’s academic landscape.

This recognition highlights Pablo’s significant scientific contributions and marks an important step toward long-term professional stabilization within the Spanish R&D system. The Ramón y Cajal program also supports the consolidation of emerging research groups and scientific leadership in strategic areas by providing additional funding to establish an independent line of research. With this fellowship, Pablo will continue his independent research on HTS and their applications at the University of Oviedo, further advancing his academic career.
