Roser Maria Valentí
Spanish-Catalan physicist
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Maria Roser Valentí is a Spanish-Catalonian professor of theoretical condensed matter physics at Johann Wolfgang Goethe-Universität Frankfurt am Main.[1]
Biography
In 1987, Valentí graduated from the University of Barcelona with honors.[1] In 1989, she finished her doctoral thesis in theoretical condensed matter physics with distinction at the University of Barcelona.[2] After her dissertation was completed, she was named a Fulbright-Fellow allowing her to study at the University of Florida.[1]
Scientific interests
Within theoretical condensed matter physics, Valentí has contributed to the understanding of superconductivity,[3][4] frustrated magnetism,[5][6] and topological isolators.[7] In her group, exact diagonalization, single particle Green's Functions[8] and machine learning techniques are employed.[7] During the COVID-19 pandemic Valentí also published research assessing the efficiency of certain mitigation strategies like social distancing.[9] She is a member of several scientific councils.[10]
