Today, 13 May, the CSIC Postgraduate Department has unveiled the winning videos of the 5th edition of its competition Yo investigo. Yo soy CSIC, in which pre-doctoral researchers tell the story of their thesis in an informative way in audiovisual format and in less than three minutes. The awards ceremony took place this morning in the auditorium of the National Museum of Natural Sciences (MNCN) in Madrid, and can be seen here.

 Javier Peñafiel Tomás, pre-doctoral researcher at the ICMAT and CSIC, was one of the winners. In his video, he explains how mathematics can help to understand the movement of fluids, one of the great challenges in current research. Specifically, in his thesis, Peñafiel studies the properties of turbulence, one of the greatest difficulties in this area.

The event was presented by Carmen Simón, director of the CSIC Postgraduate Department, and was attended by José María Martell, vice-president for Scientific and Technical Research at the CSIC. The award-winning researchers had the opportunity to share their research live.

In this edition, eleven videos were selected out of the 29 submitted, one more than expected due to the high level of the participants. All of them have had more than 41,000 views.
