Lucía Iglesias Bernardo

Lucía Iglesias received her PhD from the University of Santiago de Compostela (2019), studying the role of oxygen vacancies in thin films and oxide interfaces. After a short postdoc at the Unité Mixte de Physique CNRS/Thales laboratory in France, she became a permanent CNRS researcher in the Oxitronics group in the same lab in 2022. Her work focuses on synthesizing nickel-based superconductors, studying defects in oxides, and emerging properties in thin films. She has expertise in growing oxide heterostructures via pulsed laser deposition, structural characterization and transport measurements. She is also skilled in electronic structure calculations using Density Functional Theory.
