Modal converter integrated in waveguides
New modal conversion architecture comprising two Y-junctions facing each other, with a subwavelength metamaterial structure in between them.
Cognitive Control & Habit Laboratory
Cognitive Control & Habit Laboratory
Our research laboratory is centered in the study of (i) cognitive control and (ii) habitual behaviours. Specifically, we seek to understand how reactive and proactive control is mediated by different brain areas and their causal implication using neuromodulation. The second research line tries to understand how associative learning occurs in behaviour and the brain using experimental and real-life measures. A strong approach we use is to test these cognitive processes in healthy humans to then translate in pathological conditions perturbing fronto-striatal connections and dopamine.

Compounds for the treatment of diseases caused by West Nile virus and Zika virus
Compounds and its use for the treatment of diseases caused by RNA viruses, such as West Nile virus (WNV), Zika virus (ZIKV), among others.
Ultrathin films of van der Waals materials for electronic devices
Semiconducting and metallic films were obtained through the novel Massive Parallel Mechanical Exfoliation of van der Waals materials. They consist of ultrathin nanosheets with a thickness ranging from a few atomic layers to several layers of material.
Sensitive Dynamic vision sensor (DVS)
Sensitive DVS that allows to perform foveation, computing temporal contrast on pixels for low and high resolution simultaneously. Ideal for applications requiring both high-speed motion detection and power efficiency, such as autonomous vehicles, robotics, and advanced surveillance systems.

Synthetic Structural Biology
Synthetic Structural Biology
Our research group investigates the design and engineering of biological systems through an integrated approach combining structural biochemistry, synthetic microbiology, and computational protein design. We explore the potential of novel enzymes and enhanced microbial platforms for applications in biomedicine, biotechnology, and environmental sustainability.
Main specialization
Biogeosciences and Climate Change
Biogeosciences and Climate Change
We conduct interdisciplinary research pursuing two overarching goals: to produce new knowledge about the carbon cycle in modern environments and to reconstruct the past climate of our planet.
Main specialization
Multi-omic approaches and the role of sex in complex diseases
Multi-omic approaches and the role of sex in complex diseases
The research line focuses on identifying the genetic and molecular basis of complex diseases, with a particular emphasis on the role of sex in their etiopathogenesis. To achieve this, the approach integrates genome-wide association studies (GWAS), admixture mapping, high-throughput sequencing, and several computational methods, including functional genomics, epigenomics, and transcriptomics, both at the tissue and single-cell levels.
