I am a CSIC Tenured Scientist at ICMAB since 2024. I received my PhD in Materials Science and Technology in 2014 from Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. After graduation, I continued my research activity as a post-doc researcher in different national laboratories (Insituto de Nanociencia de Aragón, INA, 2014; Universidad Complutense de Madrid, UCM, 2015; Institut de Ciència de Materials de Barcelona, ICMAB, 2016) becoming an expert in the field of aberration-corrected scanning transmission electron microscopy applied to complex oxides. 

From 2019 to 2024, I was part of the STEM group at the University of Chinese Academy of Science, UCAS (Beijing, China), first as a post-doc and later as a permanent research scientist. 

Research interest

My research focuses on the development and implementation of advanced scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) analytical tools for the characterization of nanomaterials and low-dimensional systems. In particular, I employ four-dimensional STEM and vibrational electron energy-loss spectroscopy (EELS) to investigate novel superconducting oxide interfaces and twisted bilayer oxide membranes.

My broader goal is to establish a synergistic research program that combines microscopy, materials science, and condensed matter physics at the frontier of analytical electron spectroscopy. I aim to elucidate the relationships between structure, chemistry, and physical properties in low-dimensional systems—such as heterostructures, interfaces, and defects—down to the single-atom level.
