Fitxa persona

I am a theoretical physicist working in the interface of materials science, condensed-matter physics and chemistry. My current research line deals with the optical and magnetic properties of novel 2D materials. I focus on the application of ab initio methods to study the properties of 2D materials, like graphene, boron nitride, transition metal dichalcogenides, ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic 2D materials, and 2D perovskites. I have expertise in ab initio methods to study optical, electronic, vibrational and magnetic properties of nanostructured materials. I develop theory and ab initio methods to calculate excitonic states, electron-phonon physics, phonons and Raman spectroscopy, ultrafast carrier dynamics, physics of the spin-orbit interaction and spin dynamics, phonon-assisted absorption, excitons in ferromagnetic 2D materials. I am also working in high-throughput materials screening to discover novel 2D materials. I am developer of scientific software applied to materials science and I have established a network of theoretical and experimental colleagues abroad. 
I obtained my PhD in Physics at the University of Valencia at 2011. I have worked in internationally research centres during more than 6 years. From 2011-2012 I was postdoc at the Institute of Electronics, Microelectronics and Nanotechnology in Lille, France. In 2012-2014 I joined the University of Luxembourg as a post-doc and from 2014-2017 I was the PI of the research line focused on time-dependent spectroscopy in 2D materials (funded with 351000€).
