Pablo Botella Vives obtained his PhD in Materials Science from Luleå University of Technology (Sweden, 2020) and currently works as a postdoctoral researcher in the High-Pressure and Advanced Materials Group at the University of Valencia. He is affiliated with the Department of Applied Physics and the Institute of Materials Science (ICMUV). He is an active user of large-scale synchrotron facilities, where he routinely performs high-pressure X-ray diffraction and optical spectroscopy experiments using diamond-anvil-cell techniques. His research integrates fundamental high-pressure physics with the design of advanced multicomponent materials. Pablo also has experience in industrial R&D, having participated in several EU-funded innovation projects involving advanced ceramics, energy materials, and process intensification technologies. His interdisciplinary background bridges academic research, materials characterization, and technological applications. His current interests include entropy-driven stabilization mechanisms, pressure-induced phase transitions, and the development of new high-performance oxides for advanced applications.

Sergei (Sergey) Ivanov was born on April 30, 1994, in Moscow. In 2011, he graduated from secondary school No. 849 in Moscow, specializing in a class with a humanitarian bias. Following secondary school, he enrolled at the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (MIPT) in the Faculty of Problems of Physics and Energy. Sergei earned his BSc from MIPT in 2015 and subsequently completed his MSc in 2017. During his academic journey, he gained valuable research experience at the Institute of Spectroscopy of the Russian Academy of Sciences (ISAN) under the guidance of Prof. A.M. Kamchatnov and Prof. Y.V. Kartashov. From 2017 to 2021, Sergei Ivanov pursued his studies in the MIPT postgraduate course, successfully defending his Ph.D. thesis titled “Dispersive shock waves in nonlinear optics, Bose-Einstein condensates, and other systems” by the end of 2021 in ISAN. During the period from 2017 to 2021, he contributed significantly to the sector of nonlinear physics within the theoretical department at ISAN. Additionally, from 2019 to 2021, he worked as a junior researcher at MIPT, focusing on research areas such as the dynamics of dispersive shock waves in nonlinear media and nonlinear optical topological insulators. Since January 2022, Sergei Ivanov has been working as a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Nonlinear Optical Phenomena group at The Institute of Photonic Sciences (ICFO). Under the mentorship of Group Leader Prof. Lluis Torner, Sergei's focus lies in investigating nonlinear optical processes within waveguide arrays, with a specific emphasis on studying solitons and topological insulators. Sergei's scientific interests encompass a broad spectrum, including nonlinear physics, nonlinear optics, nonlinear waves, topological insulators, solitons, dispersive shock waves, and numerical simulations. He has demonstrated his scholarly prowess by authoring over 35 papers in peer-reviewed reputable scientific journals.

Miriam Mínguez Avellán has a degree in Physics from the University of Valencia and has a Master's degree in Nanoscience and Molecular Nanotechnology from the same institution. He is currently a doctoral student in Semiconductor Physics at the Institute of Materials Science of the University of Valencia (ICMUV), where he develops his research focused on the optical and electrical characterization of semiconductor materials with a perovskite structure for optoelectronic applications.

Mohammad Ali Nasiri is an accomplished researcher and innovator with over five years of extensive cleanroom experience, specializing in the fabrication of micro- and nano-electronic devices. His expertise spans the deposition of thin films, formation of precise electrical contacts, dry etching processes, and photolithographic mask preparation—key steps in the development of advanced electronic and optoelectronic devices.

He is proficient in a wide range of advanced characterization and measurement techniques, including Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM), X-ray Diffraction (XRD), X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Field Emission SEM (FESEM), Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), spectroscopic ellipsometry, and electrochemical analysis. His ability to perform high-precision measurements and interpret complex data has been instrumental in driving scientific progress in materials research.

Mohammad Ali holds two master’s degrees—one in Aeronautical Engineering and another in Nanomaterials Science. This interdisciplinary academic background has provided him with a strong theoretical foundation in applied mathematics, thermodynamics, fluid dynamics, and mechanical vibrations, enabling him to tackle cross-disciplinary challenges in materials science and device physics.

He earned his PhD from the University of Valencia, Institut de Ciència Molecular (ICMOL). His doctoral research, titled "Advances in Hybrid Energy Devices: Integrating Thermoelectric Materials via Fabrication, Characterization, and Modeling," focused on the direct conversion of thermal to electrical energy using thermoelectric materials. His work emphasized sustainable energy solutions by investigating ultrathin metallic layers, conductive polymer nanocomposites, lignin-derived ionic conducting membranes, and hybrid electrodes. Key outcomes included enhanced thermoelectric performance, detailed insights into ionic thermodiffusion mechanisms, and the demonstration of lignin as a sustainable material for energy storage applications.

Two years ago, Mohammad Ali designed and implemented three novel setups for measuring thermal conductivity: (1) a van der Pauw configuration adapted for both micrometric films and bulk samples, (2) a 3ω (three-omega) method for thin and ultrathin films, and (3) a custom low-thermal-conductivity platform optimized for bulk materials with poor heat transport properties.

His commitment to advancing scientific frontiers places him at the intersection of nanotechnology, materials science, and thermal transport phenomena. His work bridges sustainability and technological innovation, offering practical solutions to global energy and electronics challenges.

Most recently, Mohammad Ali Nasiri joined the Instituto Universitario de Ciencia de los Materiales (ICMUV) at the University of Valencia as a postdoctoral researcher. He is currently working on the development of perovskite-based photodetectors tailored for sensor applications, contributing to the next generation of optoelectronic and biomedical imaging devices.
