I am a condensed matter physicist. My research is experiment-focused and is mostly related to the search of novel magnetic properties in complex oxides via proximity effects. I study their magnetism dynamics and transport properties.

Currently, I am assistant professor of physics at Universidad de los Andes, Bogotá, Colombia. Here is the link to the nano-magnetism and novel materials laboratory.

Current interests

1) At the moment, I am interested in tuning multifunctional properties of complex oxides via nano-structuration in the form of nanoparticles. Many interactions present in these materials have a length scale that can be accessed by varying the nanoparticle size, therefore, allowing for a control of the strength of their interactions. More info in Carranza-Celis et. al.,   Scientific Reports 9, 3182 (2019) .

2) We are interested in novel approaches (devices and properties) that use the multifunctional properties of oxide materials. For instance, Resistive Switching is at the core of implementations of Neuromorphic computing and Oxide systems based on Transition Metal elements. We are studying materials with multifunctional properties as candidates for future implementations of neuromorphic architectures.   J. del Valle et. al.,  J. Appl. Phys. 124, 211101 (2018)

3) I propose to study proximity effects in complex oxides at the nano-scale. Oxides exhibit highly unique properties including collective phenomena such as magnetism, ferroelectricity, superconductivity, metal-insulator transitions, enhanced photoconductivity and electron transfer. Oxides also play a key role in both energy and information technologies. Examples include batteries, solar cells, catalysis, and miscellaneous electronic and magnetic devices.
