Alberto Martín defended his doctoral thesis "Electronic and optical properties at the nanoscale studied by STM" on Dec. 18th, 2018.
How did you heard about the institute IMDEA Nanociencia? Tell us more about the beginning of the story…
It was clear for me that if I would go into research, it would be Physics. I knew IMDEA Nanociencia since its foundation, and in the fourth year of my Physics degree I started to work here with as an intern.
- How was the working environment at IMDEA Nanociencia? What was your most positive experience at this place?
Very good in general. What I like the most is the scientific equipment, very new and diverse. That much, that my doctorate in the end was about experimental physics, instead of theoretical physics what I was preparing for. In general the atmosphere is very good. I like very much the fair-play way of making science, always open to others and sharing at any time the scientific results with my peers.
- What is your next stage? Tell us more about your career expectations now.
I would like to continue in academia. My intention is to finish the investigations I was doing during my PhD, and after maybe do a post-doc stay abroad.
