Short biography

Javier García de Abajo obtained his PhD in condensed matter theory from the University of the Basque Country (Spain) in 1993. After spending three years in Berkeley National Lab., he became a staff scientist at CSIC (Spain) and was promoted to Research Professor in 2008. He is currently an ICREA Research Professor and leader of the Nanophotonics Theory Group at ICFO. His interests include electron microscopy, light-matter interactions, quantum optics, condensed matter physics, surface science, ultrafast phenomena, plasmonics, and nanophotonics. He has co-authored 400+ papers that have accumulated 60,000+ citations and an h index of 118 (Google Scholar, Feb. 2024). He is a Fellow of both the American Physical Society and the Optical Society of America.
