Martina Delgado Pinar

Martina Delgado-Pinar is a senior postdoctoral researcher at the LFO. She received her Ph.D. degree in 2008 from the Universitat de València. Her thesis work was focused on the design and fabrication of all-fiber acousto-optic devices and their applications, and on the fabrication and characterization of photonic crystal fibers. In 2008-2012 she joined the Centre for Photonics and Photonics Materials at the University of Bath, UK, where she worked in the study and characterization of second- and third-order nonlinear effects in tapered optical fiber. She joined back to the LFO in 2013, as a Juan de la Cierva researcher in a first stage, and as a senior researcher afterwards. She is associate lecturer at the Applied Physics Department from 2015. Currently, her research interests include whispering gallery modes and their applications, optomechanics, nonlinear optics, and biophotonics and biosensing.

David Castelló Lurbe

David Castelló Lurbe

David Castelló-Lurbe is a María Zambrano senior postdoctoral fellow at the LFO. He received his PhD degree in physics from UV in 2014, and joined Brussels Photonics (B-PHOT) Laboratories at Vrije Universiteit Brussel in 2015, where he obtained a Research Foundation-Flanders senior postdoctoral fellowship in 2019. His research focuses on nonlinear optics in guiding media, with a particular interest in the physics of supercontinuum generation (SCG). His contributions to this field include a theory accounting for graphene's nonlinear response in on-chip waveguides, the derivation of a general method for measuring the soliton number, a formalism to study SCG analytically, and the first prediction of coherent SCG in the long pulse regime. Some of these achievements have been published in Nature Communications, Laser & Photonics Reviews, and highlighted as Editors' Pick in Optics Letters.

Research Areas:
Nonlinear optics in waveguides
