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.
Marie Skłodowska-Curie postdoc. 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 on single molecule transport and current-induced vibrational heating and cooling of molecular junctions.
PhD student. I did a MSc in Computational Materials Science from the Technical University Bergekademie Freiberg, Germany. I worked on the atomistic modeling of dislocation/precipitate interaction in magnesium alloys during my master thesis. In Prague I am inscribed in the PhD program at Charles University. I am working on theoretical methods based on DFT to investigate molecular quantum transport.
PhD student. I obtained my MSc in Physical Chemistry at the Charles University in Prague. During this period I worked as a master student at the Institute of Macromolecular Chemistry AS CR, in the field of optical phenomena under the supervision of Peter Černoch. I am currently working as a doctoral student at the Institute of Physics, combining experiments and simulations. I am working on nanostructures for solar cells under the supervision of Antonín Fejfar, Aliaksei Vetushka and Martin Ledinský, and Héctor for the simulations.
