Researcher

CV

Dr. Marcelo Fabián Goffman is a member of the Laboratoire d’Electronique Moléculaire since 2001. Expert for French funding agency and the OMNT Nano-ElectroMechanical Systems group. He obtained his Ph.D. degree in Solid State Physics at Instituto Balseiro, Bariloche, Argentine in 1997 working on the properties of vortices in high temperature superconductors.

He received, in 1998, an honorary mention of the “J J Giambiagi” prize of the Argentinean academy of physics for his thesis work.

He worked as a postdoctoral fellow (1998-2000) in the Quantronics Group of M. Devoret, D. Esteve and C Urbina at SPEC-CEA Saclay (France), on electronic transport through single atoms.

Its interests as experimentalist in nano-physics are focused on the understanding of the electronic transport through single molecules and carbon nanotube based devices. Teaching activities at the graduate level in nanoelectronics. Longstanding achievements of successful training of Ph-D students (2 completed, 2 presently running). He is the author and co-author of 28 scientific peer-reviewed papers, 2 book chapters and 2 patents.
