MARIA TERESA FLORES ARIAS

Maria Teresa Flores Arias is a Professor at the University of Santiago de Compostela, affiliated with the Department of Applied Physics within the Faculty of Physics. She is part of the Materials Institute (iMATUS) and the Strategic Grouping in Materials (AEMAT). Her research focuses on Optics, particularly through her involvement with the P4Life Photonics4Life research group.

She earned her Doctorate from the University of Santiago de Compostela in 2001 with a thesis titled Whole and fractional Talbot effect in GRIN media with transverse and axial variation of the refractive index, supervised by Dr. Carlos Gómez-Reino and Dr. María Victoria Pérez Martín.

Her research interests span optical phenomena in gradient-index (GRIN) media, photonics applications, and materials science. No specific awards or grants are explicitly mentioned in the provided information.

She maintains a personal website at Photonics4Life, reflecting her group's interdisciplinary focus on photonics for life sciences and technology.
