Alberto Quintana Puebla

Alberto Quintana Puebla is a Researcher in the Department of Physics. His work focuses on magneto-ionics, ferroelectric materials, and energy-efficient spintronic systems. He contributed to the SPIN-PORICS project (2015–2020), which explored nanoporous materials for energy-efficient spintronics. His research integrates voltage-driven magnetic control, multiferroic heterostructures, and thin film engineering.

Key research interests include ferroelectric HfO₂-based materials, transition metal nitrides, and brain-inspired magneto-ionics. His articles address topics like optical writing in ferroelectric films and frequency-dependent magnetism control. He holds a Doctoral thesis from 2018 on electrolyte-gated nanoporous materials under Prof. Menéndez and Sort. Collaborations span international teams in Europe and Asia, emphasizing sustainable materials and device applications.

Notable contributions include robust multiferroicity in Hf₀.₅Zr₀.₅O₂/Co heterostructures and voltage-driven strain-mediated modulation in heterostructures. His work bridges fundamental physics with applied technology for next-generation memory and actuation systems.
