Gloria Platero is a Research Professor at the Materials Science Institute of Madrid, at the CSIC (Spanish Research Council), which is located at the excellence Campus CSIC-UAM (Autonomous University of Madrid)
She leads the group at ICMM “New Platforms and Nanodevices for Quantum Simulation and Quantum Computation” and belongs to the University Institute Gregorio Millán on Nanoscience and Industrial Mathematics (Carlos III University of Madrid).
She has given over a hundred invited, keynote or plenary talks in international conferences and she has been invited to give seminars and make stays in many international research centers.
She has been a Mercator Fellow at the University of Regensburg.
Supervisor of many PhD students, most of them working successfully in Academia.
She is an APS Fellow (Quantum Information), and Secretary of the C8 IUPAP Commission on Semiconductor Physics. She will be Chair of the Commission in January 2025.
Her research belongs to the field of Quantum Nanotechnologies. She investigates the theory of spin qubits in quantum dot arrays, their manipulation and the transfer of quantum information in these systems for quantum computation purposes. She also investigates hybrid systems: superconducting cavities coupled to qubits, where photons are the flying qubits. Time periodic driven systems, Floquet engineering, is one of her main topics of research.
She also investigates the interplay between topology and driving and the role of topological edge states for the transfer of quantum information in different platforms, such as photonic crystals.
