Perovskite Ceramics

Dr. Jose Luis Clabel Huaman is presently, working as a researcher and professor at the Institute of Physics of São Carlos – University of São Paulo, Brazil. He received his Ph.D. in Physics from the Federal University of São Carlos, in 2015. He has remained a post-doctoral fellow at the Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation, Institute of Physics of São Carlos – University of São Paulo and the Department of Physics – Viçosa Federal University. His main research experience is in Condensed-Matter Physics and Materials Science. His interdisciplinary research interests include investigating multiferroic composites, and ferro-/piezoelectric and luminescent materials for structural and functional applications. He has monitored various aspects and features of ceramics and thin films with perovskite structures, mainly to understand their structural and opto-electronic behavior and their applications. His research works involve the use of a broad-spectrum of material characterization techniques such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), atomic force microscopy (AFM), Raman and Infrared Spectroscopies, thermal analysis, dielectric/magnetic measurement, luminescence spectroscopy, scanning and Transmission Electron Microscopy. He has published more than 15 research articles in high impact international journals. Dr. Victor Anthony Garcia Rivera achieved his bachelor’s degree in physics from the Universidad Nacional Federico Villarreal, Peru, in 2002. He then went on to obtain his master’s degree in physics from the Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Brazil in 2005 and PhD degree in physics from the Universidade Federal de São Carlos, Brazil, in 2009. He previously worked at the Institute of Physics of Sao Carlos (USP), Brazil for almost six years and then for one year as a researcher at the Center for Optics, Photonics and Lasers at Laval University, in Quebec, Canada. He has also been a program manager of Basic Science Research at CONCYTEC - Peru (Consejo Nacional de Ciencia, Tecnología e Innovación Tecnologica, in Spanish). Currently, he is a principal professor at the Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos, Lima – Peru. He is also the General Editor of the Campus Journal at the University of San Martín de Porres. He is an experimentalist whose research interests include: (i) photonics (fiber and integrated optics, glass materials); (ii) plasmonics (nanowaveguide and plasmon-photon interaction) and (iii) perovskite ceramics (rare-earth substitution and optical properties). He has published over 60 research papers has been a guest editor and author of several book chapters.
