Research activities and bio: Maria C. Asensio is Permanent Research Staff at the Institute of Material Science of Madrid and co-founder of the Research Associated Unit: MATINÉE, between the ICMM and the Institute of Materials Science (ICMUV) at the Valencia University, in Spain. Her work is focused on the in-depth characterization of advanced materials and developing state-of-the-art spectroscopic instrumentation. Maria C. Asensio commenced her academic career in Argentina. Then she held a two-year Senior Lecturer in Physics at the Autonomous University of Madrid, followed by a two-year post-doctoral position at the University of Warwick in England, also staying at the Fritz Haber Institute of the Max-Planck in Berlin, Germany. She has participated in several large European Research Projects. In 2004, she was elected Scientific Director of the IUVSTA' International Union for Vacuum Science, Technique and Applications' until 2007. Presently she is chair of the IUVSTA Surface Science Division since 2016 to date. She has been appointed and is acting as an Editorial Member of several reputed scientific journals. Lately, she also has been assigned by the European Research Council as a Panel Member of the ERC for the Advanced Grant calls (2018-2019 and 2019-2020) of the Condensed Matter Physics Panel. MCA has been awarded in Spain by six Component Exceptional Productivity Supplement of six-year terms, (named SEXENIOS), according to the following details of the last two: (2006-2011) and (2012-2017). Asensio's research comprises studying the application of wide-ranged conventional and Synchrotron Radiation Based techniques devoted to the spectroscopic characterization of ground-breaking materials in the area of Solid-State Physics. She focuses on the structural and electronic properties of surfaces, interfaces, and complex materials. She is a specialist in angle- resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARUPS), SR-PES and XAS, among other conventional materials science techniques. She mainly focused on determining the Fermi surface topology and electronic band structure of interfaces and massive materials, which frequently present electronic instabilities due to low dimensional effects. She has recently conceived and realized an innovative chemical and electronic imaging spectroscopic technique combining angle- resolved photoemission and nano- and microscopy, named "nanoARPES." Scientific production: Maria C. Asensio has published more than 265 scientific articles in international journals, one book chapter, more than 100 invited lectures, and 1 Plenary invited talk. She has a Factor H: 50 and an i10-index: 163 (from Google scholar). Her publications' ensemble holds more than 11500 cites detailed in the Citation Index, including her article on the electronic structure of "silicene" (Phys. Rev. Lett. 2012), which has been cited more than 3600 times. She has supervised 10 Doctoral Thesis, 8 among them on synchrotron radiation photoemission (SR-PES) and X-Ray absorption (XAS) of low-dimensional systems. The last 4 have been awarded the European Label. Also, she has supervised more than 22 Post-Doctorates works supported by CNRS-France (1), Marie Curie Fellowship of the European Community - EEC (4), biannual scholarships from the Spanish Ministry of Education Spain (4) and 3 postdoctoral fellowships the International Centre of French Students and Trainees (CIES), France, (2) by TOTAL research platform in Lyon, France and (8) by SOLEIL Paris, France. (10 postdoctoral fellows since 2010). show More
