Biography
César Pascual García graduated in Solid State Physics from the Universidad Autónoma of Madrid in Spain with a dissertation of electronic optical transitions in III-V semiconductors. He obtained his PhD in Condensed Matter Physics in 2007 from the Scuola Normale Superiore of Pisa in Italy with the thesis: “Low lying excitations of few electrons quantum dots”. At the beginning of his career he collaborated in fundamental topics centered on the electron correlations of semi- and super- conductor materials, but then his interest shifted to biology-applied topics as he started working as Scientific Officer at the Institute for Health and Consumer Protection of the European Commission. Currently he is an ATTRACT fellow and Lead Research Scientist at the Luxembourgish Institute of Science and Technology where he leads the activities for electrochemical sensors and actuators for medicine applications at the Materials Research and Technology Department. His current research focus is semiconductor nanowires for bio-sensing and the miniaturized control of chemical reactions.
