co-advised with Abraham Martin (Achucarro, Basque Country)
Dr. Javier Alfaro Mozaz graduated in physics from the University of Zaragoza, and developed his PhD in nanophotonics in Rainer Hillenbrand's group (CIC Nanogune), under his supervision and that of Prof. Alexey Nikitin (DIPC), studying the nanophotonics of two-dimensional hyperbolic materials.
During two years, under the supervision of Rafael Yuste (Columbia University) and Aitzol García Etxarri (DIPC), he studied the thermoplasmonic effect in the continuous and ultrafast regime, in nanoantennas and arrays of gold nanoantennas. For six months, he performed electrophysiology experiments in Rafael Yuste's laboratory at Columbia with a Fulbright grant.
