IFISC People: Violeta Calleja, Irene Estébanez and Rodrigo Martínez

We are glad to announce that three PhD students will join IFISC this month within the Unit of Excellence Maria de Maeztu program for predoctoral researchers. Their work will follow IFISC’s new strategic objectives: the study, exploration and development of information processing in and by complex systems.

Violeta Calleja joins IFISC pursuing a PhD under the supervision of Sandro Meloni and Emilio Hernández-García. Her thesis will contribute to the research line “processing of information in biological systems”.

Irene Estébanez will work on the “brain-inspired analog computing in photonic and electronic systems” being supervised by Ingo Fischer.

Finally, Rodrigo Martínez will work within the “quantum information: decoherence, dissipation and transmission” line, supervised by Roberta Zambrini and Miguel Cornelles.

They are the first three of six predoctoral students selected from a total of 53 candidates’ applications, originated from 15 different countries (Spain, UK, Greece, Germany, Austria, Italy, Iran, Tunisia, Morocco, Venezuela, Pakistan, Philippines, Cameroon, Luxembourg, and Nigeria).
