• My research efforts are mainly focused in understanding the properties of nanoscale systems at an atomic level with the help of a scanning tunneling microscope as key experimental tool.
• At present, I am particularly interested in exploring graphene physics with atomic precision; electronic properties, point defects and graphene coupling being the main topics.
