Gemma Rius

Gemma Rius is a Tenured Researcher at the Institute of Microelectronics of Barcelona (IMB-CNM), part of the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC). She holds a Doctor in Physics (2008) and a Master in Materials Science (2004) from Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, with additional training in East Asia Studies (2015) and Project Planning (2018). Her career includes tenure-track positions in Japan (Toyota Technological Institute and Nagoya Institute of Technology) and postdoctoral research at Tohoku University and CERN-related institutions.

Research interests focus on nanofabrication techniques (ion beam, electron beam), graphene-based devices, silicon carbide radiation detectors, and quantum materials. Key projects include QUTE (quantum sensing via irradiation methods) and ICRQ (cosmic radiation on qubits). She has secured grants from agencies like Agencia Estatal de Investigación and the European Commission.

Her work spans nanoelectronics, biosensing interfaces, and radiation-resistant materials. Over 90 publications highlight contributions to graphene integration, SiC detector optimization, and nanomechanical systems. She is involved in international initiatives like the COST Action FIT4NANO.
