Manuel Garc僘-Le received his PhD degree in Nuclear Physics (1983) from the University of Seville where is Full Professor of Atomic, Molecular and Nuclear Physics since 1997. He has more than 200 publications in international journals, including 4 edited books, mostly on low-level counting techniques and accelerator mass spectrometry applied to the determination of radionuclides in the environment. He has supervised 20 PhD Thesis and 40 Master Thesis. He has been invited as researcher in many Universities and Research Centers (Lund, Uppsala, Helsinki, Vienna, Sendai, Kanazawa, ETH/PSI at Z?ich, NIRS at Japan, IAE in China among others). With some 40 years of experience, he has an intensive teaching activity in the University of Seville and other Spanish Universities, mainly on experimental nuclear physics, applied nuclear physics as well as radioactivity and environmental Radioactivity. Currently, he is coordinating a Joint Master Studies Programme in nuclear physics offered by several Spanish Universities and Research Centers. Since 2000 he has been involved in University and Science management activities, being Vice-Dean and Dean of the Faculty of Physics, Vice-Rector for Research of the University of Seville, Director of the National Centre for Accelerators in Spain, Director General for Research and Knowledge Transfer of the regional government of Andaluc僘, Spain, and Director of the Andalusian Knowledge Agency.
