Marta Pelc

Marta PelcI finished my PhD at the Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń (Poland) in 2012. Afterwards, I was working there for a year at the Quantum Mechanics Department. Next, I got the scholarship “Mobility Plus II” founded by The Ministry of Science and Higher Education in Poland for the project “Electrical properties of two-dimensional materials with hexagonal structure: graphene and boron nitride” which I realize at ICMM.

The subject of my research is the theoretical study of electronic and magnetic properties of graphene based systems: carbon nanotubes, graphene nanoribbons, bilayer graphene ribbons, boron nitride as well as their junctions systems including quantum dots and superlattices. The properties I focus on in my work are mostly the band structure, quantum states localization and transport properties.

Early 2015 I moved to the Materials Physics Center, a joint center between the Spanish Scientific Research Council (CSIC) and the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU).
