Background
Rosa Córdoba is working as a "Ramón y Cajal" researcher in the Molecular Science Institute (ICMol) at the University of Valencia.
She earned her Ph.D. in Physics in the study of magnetic and superconducting nanostructures fabricated through direct writing techniques based on focused beams of charged particles, University of Zaragoza in 2012.
Subsequently, she undertook a 2-y postdoc position (2013-2015) at the Physics of Nanostructures (FNA) group in the Applied Physics Department at the Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e), The Netherlands. She investigated the magnetism and ultrafast dynamics of magnetization and spin in nano-magnets.
In 2016, with the support of a "Juan de la Cierva" grant, she joined the Institute of Material Science of Aragon (ICMA, Zaragoza, Spain), where she driven the use of FIB technologies to study 3D nanostructures.
Since her affiliation with ICMol in 2019, she has focused on the study of 2D materials and heterostructures devices. She secured a Junior Leader project from the "la Caixa" Foundation (2019-2022) and served as the scientific co-coordinator of the 2D Materials research line in the "María de Maeztu" Excellence Unit (2020-2023).
In 2021, she obtained a SEJIGENT project, Scientific Excellence Grants for Junior Researchers from the GVA (2021-2024), to develop "3D superconducting nanoarchitectures."
