CSIC
About
The Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) is the largest public research institution in Spain and the third largest in Europe. Founded in 1907, it employs around 11,000 people, including approximately 3,700 researchers. Its mission is to foster, coordinate, develop, and promote multidisciplinary scientific and technological research. The CSIC Material Physics Center (CFM) in San Sebastián provides a state-of-the-art working environment for experimentalists and theorists conducting research in various areas of material sciences.
CSIC’s Centro de Fisica de Materiales (CFM)
CFM is a research centre devoted to promote cutting-edge fundamental research on advanced materials, as well as to create new cohorts of highly skilled scientists who can face the challenges of excellence in research of materials science. The overall aim of CFM is to create a scientific and human environment of high quality devoted to excellence in the area of Material Physics research.
The vision of the centre is to become a world reference in topics of special interest in Materials Science and Technology worldwide, developing a focused strategy on specific research topics that can be led from a small scientific community as the one in the Basque Country. The broad guiding principles of CFM are excellence in fundamental science, training of young scientists, collaborative international approach as well as outreach.
Our team
Sebastian Bergeret (PI – Research scientist)
Sebastian Bergeret is a research Professor and Mesoscopic Physics group leader at CFM.
He works on theory of condensed matter in electronic transport, focusing mainly on mesoscopic superconductivity, spintronics and exotic electronic states.
CSIC team is focused on simulation work. We interact a lot with other partners and WPs, as our work is complementary. Our main equipment could be summarized as such:
