Research background

My area of expertise is in theoretical and computational Condensed Matter Physics with present interest in 2D crystals, topological insulators, molecular electronics, and optoelectronics. I graduated in Physics at the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid where I also earned my PhD working on the electronic and transport properties of semiconductor quantum dots and on the quantum Hall effect (integer and fractional). I continued working on the same topics as a postdoctoral researcher at the National Research Council (Canada), Indiana University (USA), and Kentucky University (USA), where I started working on vortex matter and mesoscopic superconductivity. At the Universidad de Alicante, where I held a professor position for almost 10 years, I was a pioneer in the computation of quantum transport from first principles, creating a collection of codes freely distributed now under the common denomination ANT (Atomistic NanoTransport).
