Lishin Thottathi

Lishin Thottathi completed his B.Sc. in Physics at Kannur University (India) and his M.Sc. in Physics at Pondicherry University, India, in 2018. He further qualified the national-level CSIR-UGC NET and GATE examinations in India in Physics in 2019. His research career began at the School of Energy Materials, Mahatma Gandhi University, where he worked on perovskite-based optoelectronic devices. He subsequently conducted research in Physics at the Catholic University of the Sacred Heart, Italy, focusing on the development of Asynchronous Optical Sampling (ASOPS), a pump-probe spectroscopy technique. Lishin has authored several publications in the fields of material sciences and spectroscopy. He is currently a PhD student at IMDEA Nanociencia, where his research focuses on measuring and controlling topological defects at the nanoscale in quantum materials like cuprates and manganites. His project seeks to uncover how vortices and other defects emerge during phase transitions, with the goal of stabilizing them for applications in superconductivity and spintronics.
