Alicia de Andres

Professor, ICMM-CSIC, Spain

Alicia de Andrés received her PhD in Physics from the UAM in March 1987. She is the head of the Heterostructures for Optics and Optoelectronics group and the Optical Spectroscopies Laboratory at the Institute of Material Sciences in Madrid (ICMM-CSIC). Over the last 25 years she has been researching materials with applications in spintronics and optoelectronics. More recently she has focused on the design, production and study of 2D materials (graphene and transition metal dichalcogenides) and their symbiosis with nanoparticles for the amplification of optical signals and for the development of sensors applicable in different fields such as the detection of biomolecules. In addition, she studies nanomaterials and metal-organic perovskites for light emission, photovoltaic cells and LEDs. She is the author of more than 190 scientific articles in international WoS journals.
