Francisco Guinea obtained his BSc (1975) in Physics from the Universidad Complutense de Madrid, and the Phd at the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (1980) . He obtained a Fullbright Fellowship and worked at the University of California, Santa Barbara, during the years 1982-1984. He became Assistant Professor at the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid in 1985, and Senior Researcher at the Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas in 1987. He has been visiting Professor at the University of Michigan, 1991-1992, and visiting Researcher at the University of California San Diego, 1997, and Boston University, 2004-2005. He has stayed for shorter periods at a number of institutions worldwide, like IBM Rüschlikon, Kernforschunganlage Jülich, DIPC, San Sebastián, ICTP, Trieste, ENS, Par ́s, and many more. He joined Imdea Nanoscience in January 2005.

F. G. has published over 400 scientific papers, with an h-index of 75 and more than 50 papers with over 100 citations. He has received a number of awards, including the biannual National Prize for Physics (Spain), and the Gold Medal of the Spanish Physical Society.

The group has varied interests intheoretical condensed matter physics and materials science. In particular, we focus on:

1. Novel properties and devices of graphene. Electronic and structural properties.
2. Optical and structural properties of two dimensional semiconductors, like transition metal dichalco- genides and black phosphorus.
3. Two dimensional superconductivity.

He obtained his Bachelor of Science in Physics (2007) and Master of Science in Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (2010) from the Universidad Autónoma de Baja California, Mexico. During his master's studies, he focused on electronic transport in quantum nanowires with embedded impurities. He earned his PhD in Physics (2019) from the School of Physics and Astronomy at The University of Manchester, United Kingdom, where he investigated the electronic and transport properties of ferromagnetic spin lattices.

In 2019, he joined the Theoretical Modelling Group at IMDEA Nanoscience in Madrid, Spain. Since then, he has actively explored the electronic, topological, and superconducting properties of twisted and non-twisted graphene heterostructures. Currently, he is a tenure-track member of the Theory Group, leading research on the impact of artificial superlattices on correlated phenomena and superconductivity in graphene-based and other two-dimensional materials.

His research interests are about the study of the electronic, topological, structural, and superconducting properties of artificial superlattices of graphene multilayers and other 2D materials. He is also interested in developing machine learning techniques and apply high-performance computing to the study of 2D physical systems.
