Fernando Gálvez

After graduating in Physics and achieving a Master Degree in Applied Physics in Universidad Complutense de Madrid (UCM), I joined the laboratory of Prof. Jose Luis Vicent at UCM in order to start my PhD studies, which I carried out also under the supervision of CSIC scientist Dr. Miguel Ángel García. The main topics studied in my PhD were superconducting materials and plasmonic systems, with a focus on the properties and interactions arising at the mesoscopic scale.

Due to the strong experimental orientation of my PhD studies, I acquired a broad experience with many different techniques and non-standard measurement setups, including lithography, sputtering deposition, cryogenics, SPR and MOKE magnetometry.

From early-2018 to late-2020 I worked at ‘Salvador Velayos’ Institute of Applied Magnetism, where I had the opportunity to get involved in several R&D projects with companies such as Ferrovial and Adif. In this stage I also explored the use of finite element simulations for the resolution of applied electromagnetism problems.

I have recently joined INAMOL of the University of Castilla-La Mancha, where I work with a low temperature (4K) MFM and SHPM system. 

My research interests focus on the study of electromagnetic phenomena in low dimensionality systems. A detailed record of my scientific work can be found at https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9979-8926 .
