Three Spanish MIT physics postdocs receive Botton Foundation fellowships

3 Spanish MIT postdocs, Luis Antonio Benítez, Carolina Cuesta-Lazaro, and Fernando Romero López, were picked by the Department of Physics as the initial accomplice of Mauricio and Carlota Botton Foundation Others.

This year’s receivers are given with a 1 year gratuity and a research study fund to seek their study rate of interests; they will certainly check out the Botton Structure in Madrid this summer season.

L. Antonio Benítez

A double resident of Spain and Colombia, L. Antonio Benítez is an MIT postdoc whose study concentrates on the examination of the digital homes of unique quantum products, with a certain focus on two-dimensional products like graphene and shift steel dichalcogenides. His job intends to press the borders of our expertise of these products and open their complete capacity for future modern technologies. Benítez obtained his PhD in physics from the Autonomous College of Barcelona, where he focused on the spin and digital homes of these products, creating a deep understanding of their distinct qualities and habits.

Carolina Cuesta-Lazaro

Carolina Cuestra-Lazaro’s primary study rate of interests push the crossway of cosmology and expert system. She has an interest in creating durable and interpretable machine-learning designs for development in physics, specifically for creating strategies for cosmological reasoning to recognize the sped up growth of deep space. She obtained her PhD in astronomy and astrophysics at the Institute for Computational Cosmology, and currently holds a common placement in between MIT’s Institute for Artificial Intelligence and Fundamental Interactions and Harvard College’s Institute for Concept and Calculation at the Facility for Astrophysics. Cuestra-Lazaro comes from Cuenca, where she states “You can discover several of the most effective Manchego cheese.”

Fernando Romero López

Romero-López finished his PhD in 2021 at the College of Valencia. As a postdoc, his study concentrates on recognizing the solid communications amongst quarks and gluons, explained by quantum chromodynamics (QCD). By integrating efficient area concepts with mathematical simulations of quantum area concepts (latticework QCD) and machine-learning devices, he is looking for a far better understanding of the devices of arrest, exactly how protons, neutrons, and various other hadrons are created, the homes of atomic centers, and the nature of unique hadrons that have actually been discovered at the Huge Hadron Collider.

The structure additionally just recently moneyed scholarships for 2 PhD physics pupils at MIT: Oriol Rubies Bigorda, that is investigating the physics of connecting quantum bits and their applications in future quantum modern technologies, and Miguel Calvo Carrera, that has an interest in the application of physics to establish renewable resource resources.

Developed in 2017, the Mauricio and Carlota Botton Structure sustains clinical study, consisting of the training of young physicists in one of the most distinguished colleges worldwide, and to give assistance for seminars that bring globe specialists in the frontier areas of physics to Spain.
