Fitxa persona

Experiencia Investigadora. He is integrated in the unit of research of Optoelectronic Materials and Devices (UMDO) and is responsible for the Lowdim research line at the Materials Science Institute (ICMUV) of the University of Valencia, Spain. He received the B.S., and Ph.D. degrees in physics from the University of Valencia in 1992 and 1998, respectively. During his PhD, he performed two research stays at the Hahn-Meitner Institute of Berlin (Germany). After a postdoctoral stay (1999-2001) at the French-Spanish beamline at the LURE Synchrotron (France), he started a research line devoted to the electronic characterization of materials by photoemission (UPS and XPS) at the Valencia University. Since 2002 he occupies a permanent position at the University of Valencia and became Full Professor in October 2019. During this last period, he has also performed several research stays at SOLEIL Synchrotron (France), at University of California Berkeley (USA), and at Heriot-Watt University (UK). His current research interests include the design and characterization of intelligent materials for energy applications, two-dimensional materials (layered semiconductors, topological insulators, and graphene), electronic and optoelectronic characterization of low-dimensional materials and related devices. His teaching duties have been focused, in the last 10 years, in Solid State and Semiconductor Physics, at the last grades of the Physics Degree and master level.
