The main objective of the program is to generate a team of engineers with a high technical training oriented to development of advanced technological products that impact on the market and in a possible commercial exploitation in different sectors of scientific instrumentation. All this through the hiring of postgraduates, both seniors and juniors

Gravitational lenses are a powerful tool for Astrophysics and Cosmology. We will combine the experience of our group in theory and observation of gravitational lenses with the aim to reach the following goals: (i) estimate the dark matter content of the Universe and discuss the dark energy models from the study of lens galaxy peculiar velocities;

Massive stars are key agents in the chemical and dynamic evolution of the Universe. The information that comes to us from early epochs of the Universe comes from galaxies dominated by the presence of massive stars. Therefore, understanding the evolution mechanisms of massive stars is fundamental to understanding the Universe. These mechanisms

EMIR, the common user near-infrared camera and multiobject spectrograph in the GTC, is currently in operation in the middle of its Scientific Verification phase, and has recently been offered to the user community for the 2017B semester in long slit spectroscopy and image modes. EMIR has been built by a consortium led by the Institute of
