Trajectory

I joined the Applied Physics Department at the University of Alicante in March 2019 as an Associate Research Professor through the regional program GenT.

Since 2015 to 2019, I was a research associate funded by the Ikerbasque Foundation at C.I.C. Nanogune in San Sebastian (Spain). I joined the group lead by Prof. Nacho Pascual in Nanogune in 2014 as a Marie Curie postdoctoral fellow.

As part of the same IOF Marie Curie fellowship, I worked with Prof. David Goldhaber-Gordon at Stanford University for almost three years. There I focused my work in learning about the electronic properties of a new generation of exotic materials known as 'topological insulators'. More specifically, we combined novel Scanning Probe techniques and low-temperature magneto-transport measurements to understand the unexpected scattering in the edge states HgTe quantum wells and their behavior under a high magnetic field.

Just before joining this group I worked for two years also as a postdoc in the STM group at the London Centre for Nanotechnology (UCL) under the supervision of Dr. Cyrus Hirjibehedin. There I worked on a few different projects, mainly studying the influence of coupling to environment in the magnetic moment of single atoms. Also we worked in collaboration with the group of Dr. Cecilia Mattevi in the characterization of CVD-grown graphene on copper.
