Jorge Barcia Rodríguez new PhD student
Jorge Barcia Rodríguez will start as a PhD from 1 January.
Jorge Barcia Rodríguez obtained his Bachelor’s degree in Physics from the University of Oviedo, Spain, where he developed his own 3D surface reconstruction software to analyze scanning electron microscope (SEM) backscattered electron images. That project introduced him to experimental techniques among nanotechnologies.
After that, he completed his Master’s in Molecular Nanoscience and Nanotechnology at the University of Valencia, joining the de Group of Prof. Efren Navarro-Moratalla (CRISOL). My Master’s thesis, “Tuning ferromagnetism in Fe₃GeTe₂ from bulk to atomically thin crystals,” focused on the fabrication and characterization of 2D ferromagnetic devices and multiferroic heterostructures, combining Fe₃GeTe₂ with CuInP₂S₆. He explored how electric fields and interfacial coupling could influence magnetism in van der Waals systems through low-temperature transport measurements.
In his PhD at POLIMA, Jorge will explore a new class of two-dimensional semiconductors designed to enable fabrication-independent interfacial band gaps and strong light–matter interactions. His research combines nanofabrication, optical spectroscopy, and cryogenic techniques to study interlayer excitons, moiré lattices, and correlated quantum phenomena in van der Waals heterostructures.
