Biography
I obtained my Ph.D. in Physics at Universidad Complutense de Madrid (Spain) with a thesis on magnetic nanowires and microtubes. Then, I moved to the Solid -State Physics Lab at the Paris XI University (Orsay, France), where I spent almost three years with a Marie Curie individual fellowship. In 2003 I joined the Institute of Microelectronics of Madrid (IMM) with a "Ramon y Cajal" contract, where in 2006 I became Tenured Researcher of the Spanish Research Council (CSIC). In 2017 IMM changed to Institute of Micro and Nanotechnology (IMN) and I got a promotion to become Research Scientist. In 2017 I was a Fulbright Visiting Scholar at Northeastern University (Boston, USA) for several months. Nowadays, I also hold administrative duties as Head of the Department of Fabrication and Characterization of Nanostructures at IMN.
Research Area
My research work focuses on the study of different nanostructures (such as nanoparticles, nanocolumns, lithographed elements and thin films) with applications in various fields: magnetism, plasmonics and biomedicine. In particular, in this latter field, I prepare antibacterial coatings and nanostructured electrodes for cell stimulation. In the last few years, I have led the projects entitled “Magnetic antidotsâ€Â, “Large area advanced materials based on nanopillars and nanoparticlesâ€Â, “NeuPES (Electrical stimulation with nanostructured electrodes)†and “Nanoimplantâ€Â, which won the IDEA²Madrid Award (a partnership of the Madrid Government and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, MIT). I have co-authored 82 articles (which have received more than 3000 citations) and 2 patents. I have given about 30 invited conferences and my h-index is 30 (WoS).
