I completed my PhD at the ICMM, Madrid, and did my first postdoc at KTH, Stockholm. Now I am an “Atracción de Talento” postdoctoral fellow at IMDEA Nanociencia. My research work and interests are in topological states of matter, particularly Dirac matter, both two dimensional (like graphene) and three dimensional (Weyl/Dirac semimetals). I am interested in quantum and topological transport in these materials, specially that related to quantum anomalies. Not only electric transport, but also thermal transport, and on the fundamentals of its relation to geometric properties of the underlying quantum theory. Besides this, I am also interested in magnetism in Dirac matter, and other topics related to topological and quantum properties of matter.

Pierre Pantaleón obtained his PhD in physics at the Manchester University in 2019. He joined the theoretical modelling group in the same year and his research is about correlated effects, superconductivity and topological properties of twisted and untwisted graphene multilayers and related moiré materials.

Alejandro Jimeno Pozo obtained his BSc in Physics (2017) and MSc in Nanophysics and Advanced Materials (2020) from the Universidad Complutense de Madrid. He then joined the group of Prof. Francisco Guinea at the IMDEA Nanociencia institute where he is currently working as a PhD student on theoretically modelling the electronic properties of graphene-based materials. His research interests mainly include Many-Body Physics, 2D Materials, and Artificial Intelligence.

I am a PhD student in the group of Prof. Paco Guinea. Our research is focused on twisted bilayer graphene junctions. In particular, we want to understand the effects of angle disorder and predict signatures of topological superconductivity in devices made of this material. I studied a masters in physics at ETH Zurich and a bachelors in physics at the Autonomous University of Madrid. My research interests include 2D materials, superconductivity and quantum computation.
