Dario Niebieskikwiat

Dario Niebieskikwiat holds a PhD in Physics from the Balseiro Institute, Bariloche Atomic Center (Argentina) and completed a postdoctoral stay at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (USA). He is Vice-Dean of the College of Science and Engineering and Director of the Program of Master's in Physics at Universidad San Francisco de Quito (Ecuador). His areas of interest are quantum and functional materials, nanostructured and low dimensional materials, and strongly correlated electron systems. Among the systems he studies are magnetic transition metal oxides and carbon-based materials in interaction with magnetic nanoparticles. He has experience and scientific publications in the study of the electric, magnetic and structural properties of materials, using techniques such as X-ray diffraction, magnetometry and electronic transport.
