He has successfully coordinated in Salamanca 3M€ projects from 2006 who allowed the installation of the previously mentioned infrastructures among other research projects. He was born in Luzern (Swiss Confederation) in 1969 and obtained his Ph.D. in Physics by University Carlos III of Madrid in 1997. He continued his postdoctoral studies with Prof. Daniel Tsui (Nobel Prize in Physics) in Princeton University with a MEC-Fulbright fellowship. Dr. Diez is currently researching unconventional graphene and topological insulators nanostructures looking for unique physical properties bearing in mind their uses in novel devices. In particular in the fabrication and characterization of graphene and topological insulators based nanodevices and related 2D materials.
