Biography
Dr. Elena Bartolomé completed her MSc in Physics at University of Zaragoza (Spain) in 1998, and her PhD in Applied Physics at the Low Temperature Division of the University of Twente (The Netherlands) in 2002, under the supervision of Prof. H. Rogalla. Between 2002-2006 she got two Postdoctoral positions, a "I3P Fellowship" at the Institute of Material Sciences of Barcelona (ICMAB-CSIC) and a "Juan de la Cierva" Fellowship at the Electromagnetism Group of the Autonomous University of Barcelona (UAB). In 2006 she joined the EUSS School of Engineering in Barcelona. Eversince, she combines teaching with research in the field of Magnetic Materials, in close collaboration with the Institute of Material Sciences of Barcelona (ICMAB-CSIC) and the Dep. of Condensed Matter - Institute of Nanoscience and Materials of Aragón (INMA-CISC). In 2014 she became Head of the EUSS Research Group, and in 2020 she received the "Advanced Research (Full professor)" accreditation from AQU.
Scientific interests
My research interests at present revolve around the following lines: Molecular Magnetism: this research line concerns the study of the magnetic behavior of 3d and 4f Single-Molecule Magnets (SMMs), 3d cyclic clusters, magnetic Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs), and multifunctional molecular materials incorporating several properties such as, slow relaxation of the magnetization and luminescence. My interest focuses also in 2D Magnetic Molecular Materials that afford deposition onto a substrate, either by self-assembly (phetalocyanines, wheels), exfoliation (lanthanide-based nanosheets) or grafting, towards the preparation of devices applicable in high-density storage of information, quantum computing, energy storage, catalysis, sensing, biomedicine, etc. Magnetic properties of nanostructured superconducting materials: my research focuses on understanding the magnetic properties and vortex dynamics of YBCO high Tc superconducting thin-films and tapes with intrinsic or nanostructured pinning nanodefects prepared by the chemical route, with the ultimate goal of improving the critical current performance of Coated Conductors for energy generation and transport applications. I am also interested in the physics of hybrid ferromagnetic (FM) - superconducting (SC) systems, such as YBCO films with FM natural defects, hybrid FM-SC nanocomposites, bilayers etc. Besides, with the aim of continuously improving the quality of University teaching, I investigate new active-learning, inquiry and project-based methodologies, such as Study and Research Paths (SRPs), applied to Engineering and Scientific Education.
