I am a researcher specialised in experimental quantum optics and quantum materials. I finished my PhD in 2015, under the supervision of Prof. Viña, on III-V semiconductor exciton-polaritons. As a postdoc (IF Marie-Curie 2016-18), I was working in the group of Prof. Senellart between 2015-2019 on quantum optics with semiconductor QDs. Then, I moved to the group of Prof. Schneider, first in Würzburg (2020), and finally in Oldenburg, where I participated to the creation of the AG Quantenmaterialien. During this period, I worked on nonlinear & quantum photonics with different 2D materials. Since 2022, I lead the QOSS experimental team at the UAM.

Postdoc (since May 2023)

Earned his PhD in 2014 from UAM, focusing on exciton-polariton in III-V semiconductor microcavities. He then explored optical properties of TMDC materials under high magnetic fields at NTU, Singapore, and furthered his research on exciton hybridization in TMDC at Chalmers University, Sweden. In 2018, he joined Eduardo Lee's group at UAM to delve into electronic transport in semiconductor nanodevices. Currently working since May 2023, Jorge is investigating the strong coupling between excitons in perovskites and photonic resonators, in collaboration with the group of Ferry Prins.

Nerea studied her BSc Engineering Physics at UC3M with an external mobility year at University of New South Wales, Sydney. She continues her studies within the Master in Quantum Tecnologies and Engineering program in UC3M.

In the past, Nerea worked in the groups of D. Ramos (ICMM-CSIC), developing photodetection devices based on mechanical and plasmonic coupling, and P. Martín-Mateos (UC3M) studying laser heterodyne radiometry techniques for atmospheric gas absorption measurements.
