Rafael García Molina and Manuel Hernández Córdoba, professors of Applied Physics and Analytical Chemistry respectively, have been recognized as members of the institution due to their scientific merits.
The incorporation of new members depends on the numerary academics, responsible for presenting candidates and deciding their entry by voting.
The objective of the Academy of Sciences is to disseminate science and technology through different activities that bring science closer to society in the scientific field.
The Academy also fulfills the role of advising on various scientific subjects and lobbying political leaders.
Since 2015, the institution is chaired by Juan Carmelo Gómez Fernández, Professor of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at the University of Murcia.
The appointment, which gives them a select group of prestigious scientists, is also a recognition of their research work.
In the words of García Molina: "It is an incentive to continue striving to carry out an international research with the same determination and enthusiasm with which I have been developing to date."
It also emphasizes the responsibility of contributing to the visibility, both locally and internationally, of the science that is carried out in the Region of Murcia.
PhD in Physics from the University of Valencia, has directed his trajectory towards the theory and simulation of the interaction of energetic particles charged with condensed matter.
His most recent works address the interaction of proton beams and carbon ions with biomaterials of interest in hadrontherapy, for their possible use in the treatment of cancer.
The researcher has developed the SEICS code (Simulation of Energy Ions and Clusters through Solids) that follows in detail the movement of rapid projectiles through condensed matter.
García Molina, co-researcher responsible for the Group of Excellence of the Region of Murcia "Numerical simulations of complex interacting systems", has 130 publications in international specialized journals and more than 150 communications in international conferences.
In his role as a disseminator, he has been awarded several times for contests such as 'Science in Action' or 'Science on Stage'.
In 2016, he was awarded the 'Prize for the Teaching and Popularization of Physics' organized by the Royal Spanish Society of Physics and the BBVA Foundation.
On the other hand, Hernández Córdoba has focused his research activity on atomic spectroscopy and chromatographic techniques.
Currently, his projects focus on miniaturized techniques for the preparation of the sample, followed by measurement by atomic or mass techniques, which may or may not involve chromatographic separation.
In the same way, he is a researcher responsible for the Applied Instrumental Methods group of excellence at the UMU, co-author of nearly 300 articles in journals, director of 15 Doctoral Theses and has two patents, one of which describes a system for calibrating and measuring automatic in atomic absorption spectrometry with flame.
In addition, CNAI has positively evaluated the maximum possible number of sections in research, six.
In 2012 the Applied Spectroscopy Society awarded him the 'Francisco Álvarez Prize' for his activity in that area.
