Affiliated Faculty
Prof. Jaime Merino
Professor at Universidad Autónoma de Madrid.
Areas of expertise: Behavior of electronic systems in which Coulomb electron interactions are strong. Topics of interest include transport properties of strongly correlated metals, out-of-equibrium quantum many-body theory, superconductivity in strongly interacting systems, charge ordering phenomena in low dimensional materials, deriving effective model Hamiltonians for strongly correlated systems, quantum spin liquids, topological properties of materials and Kondo impurities in metals.
Prof. Consuelo Álvarez-Galván
Senior Research Scientist at the Institute of Catalysis and Petrochemistry (ICP-CSIC).
Areas of expertise: CO2 conversion and circular chemistry. Experimental studies concerning environmental and energy-related catalysis and chemical processes, going from fundamentals to applied research. Research work aimed at understanding the key parameters that control the reactivity and selectivity, following a rational design strategy to optimize catalysts. Research on the dynamic evolution under reaction followed using operando and in-situ characterization techniques in order to facilitate the screening.
