Dr. Pierre Anthony Pantaleon Peralta

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.
