"Field-dependent roughness of moving domain walls in a Pt/Co/Pt magnetic thin film" by M. J. Cortés Burgos et al. has been published in Phys. Rev. B! In this work, we report experimental values of the roughness parameters for different magnetic field intensities in the creep regime for a Pt/Co/Pt thin film. We show that the roughness exponent can be rationalised as an effective value in terms of the known universal values corresponding to the depinning and thermal cases. In addition, we present a theoretical study of the roughness amplitude, which shows a significant increase with decreasing field.

I have been invited to give a presentation at this exciting workshop, which will take place in the beautiful Greek island of Spetses between September 6th and 10th. My talk will deal with the roughness of domain walls and how theory can help us understand what is going on in experiments performed on GdFeCo and Pt/Co/Pt thin films. I am looking forward to lots of discussions on disordered systems with the most amazing views.

Our paper "Domain-wall roughness in GdFeCo thin films: Crossover length scales and roughness exponents" by L. Albornoz et al. is now out in Phys. Rev. B! We measure domain-wall roughness in GdFeCo thin films, finding values for the roughness exponent that don't coincide with the theoretical predictions for the equilibrium, depinning and thermal regimes. We then propose a theoretical framework that allows us to rationalise these values in terms of two relevant crossover length scales. Quite remarkably, this approach not only explains our results, but sheds light onto many values previously reported in the literature.

I am very happy to announce that our manuscript "Tuning Ginzburg-Landau theory to quantitatively study thin ferromagnetic systems" by P. C. Guruciaga et al. has just been published in J. Stat. Mech.: Theory Exp. In this work, we link the traditional statistical mechanics scalar-field model and micromagnetic theory to show how to make the parameters of the former material dependent. We then use this tuned model to study domain-wall dynamics and structure in Pt/Co/Pt thin films, comparing with previous experimental results. Check it out!

Our manuscript "Fragmented monopole crystal, dimer entropy and Coulomb interactions in Dy2Ir2O7" by Cathelin et al. was just accepted for publication in Phys. Rev. Research. You can read it here (it's open access!). Authored together with colleagues from several French and British institutions, it is one of the many interesting results of my 2019 research visit to École Normale Supérieure de Lyon. May it be the first of a very fruitful collaboration!

With my current position coming to an end soon, I am looking for the next step in my carrer. My background is in statistical mechanics applications to condensed matter (frustrated and disordered systems). I am highly trained in large-scale, high-performance numerical simulations. If you are searching for a highly motivated young researcher with great communication skills and love for challenges, contact me!

"Anomalous out-of-equilibrium dynamics in the spin-ice material Dy2Ti2O7 under moderate magnetic fields" by Guruciaga et al. was accepted for publication in J. Phys.: Condens. Matter. It combines numerical and experimental results to shed light on the behaviour both near and far from equilibrium of the archetypal spin ice Dy2Ti2O7. You can find it here.

A few years ago, we showed (here) that antiferromagnetic Ising pyrochlores realise under certain conditions the highly counter-intuitive phenomenon known as classical order by disorder. Now, a numerical study on the possibility of actually detecting it has been accepted for publication in Phys. Rev. B: "Monte Carlo study on the detection of classical order by disorder in real antiferromagnetic Ising pyrochlores" by P. C. Guruciaga and R. A. Borzi. Check it out!

Our poster "Halfway between the classical scalar-field model and micromagnetism: simulating real domain-wall dynamics experiments" by P. C. Guruciaga, N. B. Caballero, V. Jeudy, J. Curiale and S. Bustingorry won the Best Poster Award of Topic 2: Out-of-equilibrium Aspects at StatPhys27!

I will present a series of seminars about my work at Université Paul Sabatier (Toulouse, April 2 14:30), École Normale Supérieure de Lyon (Lyon, April 29 13:30) and Institut Néel (Grenoble, May 2 14:00).

I will be visiting Prof. Peter Holdsworth at École Normale Supérieure de Lyon (April 8 - May 7) and Prof. Thierry Giamarchi at Université de Genève (May 13 - 24). If you are in the area and feel like discussing some physics, do not hesitate to contact me!

I defended my thesis on March 13. It is titled "Order and dynamics in spin ice", and was done under the supervision of Rodolfo Borzi and José Luis Iguain. The examination board was formed by Sergio Cannas (FAMAF, UNC), Luis Manuel (IFIR, CONICET-UNR) and Celso Aldao (INTEMA, CONICET-UNMdP). I am deeply grateful to all who have been by my side during these years. Now looking forward to the challenges the future holds for me!
