NOVEL NANOMATERIALS FOR NANOPHOTONICS

Dra. Elena Pinilla Cienfuegos

Integration & applications of novel nanomaterials for advanced Nanophotonics”

The main objective of our work is the design of versatile optical elements to gain reconfigurability, power efficiency and novelty for applications in telecommunications and biomedical applications by integrating non-standard reconfigurable nanomaterials such as 2D and molecular-based nanomaterials.

We are exploring as well new designs for photonic sensing devices based in Graphene sensors: Hybrid devices on dielectric SERS substrates and membranes.

*We are hiring!

Positions available:

  • 1 Posdoctoral position (within ARCANGEL Project, “Actividades en grafeno, materiales 2D y materiales con funcionalidades inteligentes para el desarrollo tecnológico”)

If you are interested in working with us and/or have your own fellowship/funding, please contact Dr. Elena Pinilla Cienfuegos.
