ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

I would like to express my sincerest gratitude and appreciation to all those people who,
directly or indirectly, have contributed to the realization of this dissertation:
Prof. Dr. Juan Gallego, my Thesis supervisor, thanks for all your guidance, help and
and support during this time. I deeply appreciate the profound human values you have
always demonstrated because without these, this dissertation would surely not have
been completed.
Julián Romo, the Laboratory Technician, thanks for giving me so much help, support,
and care during the development of this Thesis. You have been essential to
accomplish this work.
Technical University of Madrid, thank you for granting me the scholarship and allowing
me the enriching possibility to research abroad.
Prof. Felice Giuliani, my supervisor in Italy, thank you for such a warm welcome to this
cherished country. Thanks also to my friends there because without them, this amazing
experience would never have been possible.
Prof. Manfred Lenzen, my supervisor in Australia, thank you for giving me the unique
chance to research at the ISA group. It has been an amazing experience to work and
live in such a beautiful country. I will never forget that period of my life and the friends I
met there. Undoubtedly, this has been the best part.
My good friends all over the world, because no matter how far away, you have always
supported me.
My dear family, especially my parents, thanks for always being there. You are certainly
the most valuable part of my life.
Finally, I would like to dedicate this Thesis to my mother. Thank you for your love,
unconditional support and generosity. Without this, I would not be where I am today.
You are my role model in life, both academically and personally.
