Hi! My name is Elsa Prada and I am a Senior Researcher at the Materials Science Institute of Madrid (which is part of the Spanish Research Council). Within the department of Theory and Simulation of Materials, our group is called Quantum Dynamics and Materials (QUDYMA).
I am a condensed matter theorist working on systems where quantum phenomena play an important role, such as low-dimensional materials, nanostructures and devices. See my research interests below.
