Electronic processes in molecular nanojunctions
I did my PhD on energy level alignment at metal/organic and organic/organic interfaces at the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid with Fernando Flores. I then moved to the field of single molecule transport theory, in postdoctoral stays with Antti-Pekka Jauho and Mads Brandbyge at DTU-Nanotech and Latha Venkataraman and Mark Hybertsen at Columbia University and BNL. On my way back to Europe, I worked on exciton dissociation and organic photovoltaics as a postdoc with Alessandro Troisi at Warwick. In Prague I hold a Purkyně Fellowship at the Institute of Physics, where I started the Molecular Transport Group.
I obtained a MSc in Electronic Engineering from the Università Mediterranea of Reggio Calabria (Italy) and a MSc in Nanoscience from the University of the Basque Country (Spain). Then I started my PhD at the Centro de Física de Materiales in San Sebastián (Spain) under the supervision of Thomas Frederiksen. The topic of my PhD was first-principles simulation of elastic and inelastic electron transport through alkane-based molecular junctions by means of DFT-NEGF. In Prague I am currently working mostly on single molecule transport.
