Hello there!
Hello there!
My name is Pamela Guruciaga and I am a theoretical physicist. My research interests lie in the area of statistical mechanics and its applications to condensed matter and biology.
I am currently a postdoctoral fellow in the Erzberger group at EMBL Heidelberg, Germany. Previously, I was a CONICET postdoc at Centro Atómico Bariloche, Argentina, where I was a member of the Condensed Matter Theory Group and the PAREDOM.
I finished my Ph.D. in Physics in Universidad Nacional de Mar del Plata, Argentina, in March 2018. My thesis, titled "Order and dynamics in spin ice", was done under the supervision of Rodolfo Borzi.
In my free time I am a part of the Orange Music duo, interested mainly in the exploration of new forms of artistic creation from the interaction of body, sound, space and scene.

Domain-wall roughness in GdFeCo thin films: crossover length scales and roughness exponents
Albornoz,* Guruciaga* et al.
Domain-wall roughness in GdFeCo thin films: crossover length scales and roughness exponents
Albornoz,* Guruciaga* et al.
We measure domain-wall roughness in GdFeCo thin films, finding values for the roughness exponent that differ from the theoretical predictions for the equilibrium, depinning and thermal regimes. We propose a theoretical framework that allows us to rationalise these values in terms of two relevant crossover length scales. This approach not only explains our results, but sheds light onto many values previously reported in the literature.
Tuning Ginzburg–Landau theory to quantitatively study thin ferromagnetic materials

Tuning Ginzburg–Landau theory to quantitatively study thin ferromagnetic materials
Guruciaga et al.
We link the traditional statistical mechanics scalar-field model and micromagnetic theory, and use this mixed approach to study domain-wall dynamics and structure in Pt/Co/Pt thin films.
Field-tuned order by disorder in frustrated Ising magnets with antiferromagnetic interactions
Guruciaga et al.
Field-tuned order by disorder in frustrated Ising magnets with antiferromagnetic interactions
Guruciaga et al.
We demonstrate that antiferromagnetic Ising magnets present the highly counter-intuitive classical order-by-disorder transition, and discuss how to detect it experimentally.
