Biografía
Soy un físico teórico trabajando en física de la materia condensada y ciencia de materiales. Mis líneas de investigación actuales son las propiedades electrónicas, ópticas y magnéticas de materiales 2D, como el grafeno, BN, MoS2 y ferromagnetos 2D. Combino el uso de métodos de primeros principios y modelos empíricos para describir excitones, fonones, interacción de los electrones con las vibraciones de los materiales, espectroscopia ultrarápida, interacción spin-órbita.
