Marcos de Lucas Medina

Marcos de Lucas Medina earned his BSc in Chemistry from the Complutense University of Madrid (2019–2023), where he focused on high-resolution Raman spectroscopy in non-equilibrium systems (supersonic jets) and quantum simulations.

During his MSc in Chemical Science and Technology (2023–2024), he worked on classical molecular dynamics simulations of electrolytic solutions. Simultaneously, he participated in a project at the FELIX Laboratory (Radboud University), studying IRMPD (Infrared Multiple Photon Dissociation) spectra of ionized molecular systems—both experimentally and through Ab initio Molecular Dynamics simulations.

He also worked for six months as a research assistant at the Center for Ultrafast Lasers (CLUR) at Complutense University of Madrid, contributing to the development of a pump-probe spectroscopy setup using High Harmonic Generation with photoelectron and photoion detection. Currently, he is pursuing a PhD at IMDEA Nanoscience, focusing on the ultrafast photophysics of nanostructures. His research employs femtosecond-resolved techniques such as transient absorption spectroscopy to investigate electronic and vibrational relaxation pathways.
