Dr. Pablo Ares, Instituto de Fisica de Materia Condensada, Universidad Autonoma de Madrid, Spain.

Title of the talk: “Advances in fundamental ElectroMagnetic properties of 2D materials: piezoelectricity, ferroelectricity, and magnetic shielding”

Pablo Ares received his B.S. and Master degree in Physics at the Universidad Complutense de Madrid in 2003 and he then joined the company Nanotec Electrónica S.L. (devoted to the design, development, and commercialization of scanning probe microscopes) as an application scientist. In 2014, he moved to the Department of Condensed Matter Physics of the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (UAM), where he obtained his Ph.D. in 2017. After this, he joined the Graphene Group at the University of Manchester (UK), to work with Prof. Kostya Novoselov and Dr. Laura Fumagalli as a Marie Sklodowska Curie Fellow. In 2020 he moved back to the UAM, to the Department of Condensed Matter Physics and the IFIMAC, where he is currently a Ramón y Cajal Fellow. His research activity is mainly focused on the study of novel low-dimensional systems using and developing atomic force microscopy (AFM) tools.
