Isabel is senior scientist and department head at ICMAB-CSIC. She is a materials physicist interested in semiconducting structures (inorganic, organic, and hybrid) that can contribute to expand the development of modern optoelectronic, energy-related, and sensing devices. Her core expertise is the MBE growth of SiGe structures and the use of optical spectroscopy, mainly ellipsometry, Raman scattering, and photoluminescence.
