Presenter’s Abstract

Dr. Raúl Rica Alarcón obtained his PhD in 2011 at the University of Granada (UGR), working on colloid science. He worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Milano-Bicocca (Italy) on renewable energy, at the Institute of Photonic Sciences (Spain) on optical tweezers, photonics, and stochastic thermodynamics, and at UGR on ion trapping and atomic physics. Since 2017, he has been an Associate Professor in the Department of Applied Physics at UGR, where he leads the Nanoparticles Trapping Laboratory (NanoTLab) to advance micromanipulation capabilities for exploring complex situations in microscopic systems driven out of equilibrium.
