Olivier Roubeau

Olivier Roubeau is a tenured researcher (Científico Titular) at the Aragón Institute of Nanoscience and Materials (INMA), part of the University of Zaragoza and CSIC. His research focuses on magnetic molecular-based coordination compounds, surface structuration, and magnetic nanoparticles for hyperthermia. He collaborates with the HYMAT research group in the Department of Condensed Matter Physics.

Education:

• Bachelor's degree from UVSQ and Paris 6 Universities (1997), thesis under Prof. G. Férey on vanadium framework materials.
• PhD from Leiden University (2002), thesis under Prof. J. Reedijk on Fe(II) triazole-based materials.

Research Interests:

• Spin crossover materials and their applications in molecular coolers.
• Design of lanthanide-based molecules for quantum computing and qubit integration.
• Nanoparticle systems for magnetic hyperthermia and cryogenic cooling.
• Supramolecular assembly and functionalization of carbon nanotubes.

Publications Trends (2021–2025):

• Focus on molecular qubits and quantum gate design using heterometallic complexes.
• Advancements in MOF-based thin films for on-chip refrigeration and battery applications.
• Study of energy transfer mechanisms in lanthanide clusters.

Labs/Teams: Active member of the HYMAT group, developing interdisciplinary projects at the interface of materials chemistry and quantum technologies.
