Biography

Nicolás Pérez Rodríguez is research group leader and the head of the PPMS Laboratory at the Institute for Metallic Materials, Leibniz-Institut für Festkörper- und Werkstoffforschung Dresden. He was born in Spain in 1974. He received his Bachelor of Physics in 1999 from the University La Laguna in Spain, his MBA in 2002 from the MBA School, La Laguna, Spain, his MSc in Nanoscience in 2007 from the University of Barcelona, and his PhD in Nanoscience in 2012. He received the best doctorate prize in natural sciences. In parallel to his university studies, he started his professional career in 1997, continuing until 2006. He held management positions in banking and later in a communications company. He returned to academia in 2007, with his MSc topic focusing on the magnetism of nanoparticles. He continued with his Ph.D. on the application of magnetic nanoparticles and magnetic nanocomposites for biomedical applications. He was an assistant professor (lecturer) in Barcelona from 2010 to 2013 and then became a post-doc at IFW in 2014 to research magnetic thin films. In 2015 he began a second post-doc at IFW, changing his topic to thermoelectricity. He assumed a permanent position as head of the PPMS Laboratory facility in IFW in 2019.
