In 2014, he was awarded a “Fellows Gipuzkoa” grant to begin his independent research career at DIPC. Regarding his scientific contributions, Aitzol has published several seminal articles across different research areas. He was a pioneer in providing a theoretical explanation for the first experiments on antenna-enhanced infrared absorption spectroscopy. He is also the first author of a seminal contribution demonstrating that high-index nanoparticles can act as lossless magnetoelectric optical antennas. During his postdoctoral period at Stanford University, he developed the theoretical framework for nanoparticle-enhanced circular dichroism spectroscopy of chiral molecules, and invented and patented a light-driven, nanoparticle-mediated molecular enantioseparation technique. As an independent researcher, his group has made major contributions to the field of topological photonics, including the discovery of the first instance of fragile topology in a photonic crystal, and the identification of the first axionic phase in a photonic crystal.

Jiménez-Pazos, Bárbara
Bárbara Jiménez Pazos (San Sebastián, 1989) holds a PhD in Philosophy from the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) and, since 2021, has been an Adjunct Professor in the Department of Philosophy at the Faculty of Education, Philosophy and Anthropology of UPV/EHU in San Sebastián. After defending her doctoral thesis in 2016, she was awarded a postdoctoral fellowship from the Basque Government’s Doctoral Research Staff Training Program (2018–2020). This enabled her to spend two years at the University of Leeds (United Kingdom), in the School of Philosophy, Religion and History of Science. Inspired by leading experts in the history of science with whom she collaborated, she oriented her research towards the study of Darwinism and its socio-philosophical implications in the history of ideas, a field in which she continues to work. This research direction, largely developed during her time in Leeds, has not only defined her current line of work but has also allowed her to join as a permanent member of the iHPS-Research group at UPV/EHU, specializing in the history and philosophy of science, thereby consolidating her academic trajectory in this field. Among her academic management responsibilities, she serves as Secretary of the International Ontology Congress.
