JOSE FRANCISCO RIVADULLA FERNANDEZ

Professor Jose Francisco Rivadulla Fernandez is a faculty member at the University of Santiago de Compostela, affiliated with the Department of Physical Chemistry in the Faculty of Chemistry. He is part of the Research Center in Biological Chemistry and Molecular Materials (CIQUS) and the MAT2 research group (Condensed Matter & Functional Materials). His work focuses on advanced materials science, particularly in the areas of magnetism, nanotechnology, and thermal conductivity in functional materials. He has contributed extensively to studies on thin films, oxide superlattices, and ferroelectric materials, with applications in electronics, energy, and spintronics.

His research explores topics such as electric-field control of thermal properties, topochemical reactions in perovskites, and the integration of functional oxides on silicon using chemical solution deposition. Notable contributions include investigations into resistive switching in oxide devices, interfacial thermal phenomena, and the design of materials for energy harvesting and memory storage. He has also published on educational methods for teaching diffusion processes using mathematical software.

His academic background includes a PhD from the University of Santiago de Compostela, where he studied magnetotransport in manganites under Dr. Manuel Arturo López Quintela and Dr. José Rivas Rey. While no formal awards are listed here, his prolific publication record reflects his impactful contributions to materials physics and chemistry.
