Under the supervision of Prof. Cefe López, I completed my PhD on the interplay between structural order and disorder in light propagation through complex dielectric nanostructures.
During this period, I developed and applied self-assembly techniques, materials processing, and advanced nanofabrication methods. I gained extensive experience in colloidal self-assembly, atomic layer deposition, and chemical vapor deposition, as well as in a wide range of optical characterization techniques, including Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, ultrafast time-of-flight, and optical gating.
A central outcome of this work was the development of a method to precisely control the degree of disorder in self-assembled photonic crystals, enabling systematic studies of how imperfections affect light transport in periodic nanostructures.
