He has supervised 30 Doctoral Thesis and 20 postdoctoral researchers. He has given more than 140 invited presentations in International conferences. He is the leadscientist in more than 45 competitive projects; Chair of the European Research Council PE4 panel; and Fellow of the American Physical Society since 2007. Prof. Miranda has been the director of the UAM Surface Laboratory for more than 30 years, creating a school that has spread Surface Physics in our country through more than 50disciples and collaborators.
His current scientific interests go from the development of new microscopes with atomic resolution for the study of the physics of two-dimensional systems and quantic materials, to the molecular self-organization on surfaces, the use of magnetic nanoparticles to selectively remove cancerous cells, and epitaxial graphene properties.
