Postdoctoral research at the IMEM Institute (CNR), Parma, Italy, and at the KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden, focusing on the characterisation of III-nitride nanostructures using cathodoluminescence and near-field microscopy. Full Professor since June 2025. Specialised in the microscopic analysis of semiconductor materials and semiconductor nanostructures using optical techniques (cathodoluminescence, photoluminescence, micro-Raman spectroscopy, near-field microscopy) and electrical techniques (light- and electron-beam-induced currents). Currently coordinator of the University of Valladolid’s Recognised Research Group “Semiconductor materials and nanostructures for optoelectronics” (GdS-Optronlab) and of the Consolidated Research Unit (UIC) of the Regional Government of Castile and León (UIC-051). Participation as a researcher in over thirty regional, national and European projects. Principal Investigator (PI) of six national projects from the latest calls for proposals.
