Floren - 2006

 

Welcome to my personal web-page!! Here you can find about my work on photonic crystals, artificial opals and much more...

Briefly:

In 1999 I graduated in Physics at the Universidad Autonoma de Madrid and received the Advanced Studies Diploma (MS degree equivalent) in 2001 from the Materials Science department of the same university. In November 2003 I obtained my PhD, based on the research that I carried out under the supervision of Prof. Cefe Lopez at the Institute of Materials Science of Madrid (ICMM-CSIC) and Prof. Francisco Meseguer (Centro Tecnólogico de Ondas, Valencia).

In 2004 I began to work for Prof. Paul Braun at the Materials Research Laboratories in the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

On December 2007, I became a Director’s fellow at Los Alamos National Laboratory where I work in Dr. Victor I. Klimov’s team.
