About me
I graduated in Physics at Universidad de Granada in June 1985 and got a Ph D in Material Physics in November 1990 in the Departamento de Física de Materiales of the Universidad Complutense de Madrid (UCM), where I was appointed as Tenured University Professor in October 1991. Since January 2007 I am Full University Professor of Applied Physics in the same University. I am the leader of the Quantum Nanosystems Group (QNG), a research group focused on quantum properties of ultra-small semiconductor and organic structures with the aim to investigate theoretically new, unusual and unexpected phenomena. Additionally, I am also member of the Interdisciplinary Group of Complex Systems (GISC), a research group whose main interest is the physics of complex systems applied to several fields (condensed matter physics, statistical physics, biophysics, social physics).
Research
My current research interests are directed towards the understanding of the electronic properties of novel semiconductor nanostructures, as quantum dots, quantum rings and superlattices. Moreover, I am also interested in the electronic excitations of molecular agreggates, including DNA and J-aggregates. More recently I am also interested in the physics of ultracold atoms in optical lattices and the electronic properties of graphene.
Teaching
This academic year 2011-12, I once again taught Solid State Physics in the first semester of the Degree in Physics (Group B) and in the second semester of the Grade in Physics (Group C). I teach the Introductory courses because I am interested in presenting the students with an opportunity to improve their understanding of the microscopic world. In addition, I teach Optical and Electrical Properties of Semiconductors to students of the Master of Fundamental Physics.
