应国际功能材料量子设计中心张振宇教授的邀请，12月12日，美国宾夕法尼亚州立大学物理系与巴西塞阿拉州联邦大学物理系双聘教授Humberto Terrones前来实验室进行学术交流与访问，并为实验室师生做“Defect engineering in graphene-like nanostructures: theory and experiment”的学术报告。
　　Humberto Terrones obtained his PhD degree from Birkbeck College in 1992 (University of London). Following a postdoctoral stay at Cambridge University (UK), he joined the Institute of Physics at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM). After eight years, Humberto moved to IPICYT as Head of the Advanced Materials Department to work mainly in nanosciences and nanotechnology. He is presently visiting Professor at the Penn State University (USA) and at the Federal University of Ceara (Brazil). As a leading researcher with a long experience in nanostructured carbon materials, he has published more than 190 scientific papers in different aspects of nanostructures (synthesis, theory and characterization) and has over 8000 thousand citations. His ""H"" index is 51.
