Welcome to the Spins & Materials Vanguard

I am a Ramón y Cajal researcher —Spanish tenure-track— at the Institute of Molecular Science (ICMol) of the University of Valencia, where I develop my research line within the Research Team on Molecular Materials.

Driven by a curiosity for spins, my research interest turns around magnetism and, in particular, around the delicate interplay between crystal growth and strongly correlated phases. Through this perspective, I aim to push the boundaries of spins and materials to the forefront of discovery — the ultimate vanguard!

I am motivated by the synergies between physics, materials science and chemistry, pursuing two main goals: first, the understanding of quantum materials, ranging from bulk down to the two-dimensional (2D) limit, and, second, the development of novel and (hopefully) useful magnetic devices, such as creating artificial magnetic memories by simply twisting 2D van der Waals magnets.

My approach to reaching these goals is integrative, starting from material synthesis and following the passionate (though often truly challenging) journey towards advanced device characterization, in order to tackle the fundamental questions I find most compelling at any given time.
