CARLOS
MÁRQUEZ GONZÁLEZ

Dr. Carlos Márquez has been serving as a Contracted Professor in the Department of Electronics at the University of Granada since 2022. He earned Bachelor's degrees with honors in Telecommunications and Electronic Engineering from the University of Granada (UGR) in 2012 and 2013, respectively. In 2017, he received a Ph.D. in Electronics (with honors) from the same institution. His research interests include the study, design, fabrication, and characterization (both structural and electrical) of innovative solid-state electronic devices that support future technological nodes beyond silicon CMOS, particularly those based on two-dimensional materials. He has authored or co-authored over 30 publications in peer-reviewed JCR journals (one-third as first or corresponding author, over 40% in Q1 journals, and one in the top-ranked journal *Nature Electronics* with an impact factor >32) and contributed to 20 international conferences (two invited). Dr. Márquez is also a co-author of five book chapters published by prestigious publishers such as Springer and Elsevier. His works include significant advancements like the most scaled 1TDRAM memory cell to date based on III-V materials (device length of 14nm, [Nature Electronics article](https://www.nature.com/articles/s41928-019-0282-6)) and the first demonstration of an operational array of Z2FET diode-based cells ([IEEE publication](http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/8325461/)). He has also written reviews on advancements in 2D materials for electronic applications and novel reliability characterization techniques. Additionally, Dr. Márquez is a co-holder of two international patents related to FET device applications as radiation sensors and novel reconfigurable devices. As a postdoctoral researcher, Dr. Márquez has worked at internationally renowned centers, contributing to the integration and processing of optoelectronic (III-V) and 2D materials, such as graphene and TMDs, for scalable semiconductor devices. To date, he has completed nearly three years of international research stays and has actively participated in competitive European projects (*WAYTOGOFAST* and *REMINDER*) as well as Spanish national projects (*TEC2017-89800R, TEC1014-59730R,* and *PE16/0045*), consolidating a strong international network. Starting in 2024, he has secured funding from the Junta de Andalucía to lead a research project on 2D materials (*NETX-2D*, €18k). In addition, Dr. Márquez has received several competitive individual grants to support his research (>€350k). These include a regional doctoral fellowship, postdoctoral mobility grants (the Spanish Government's "José Castillejo" Fellowship and the "UGR-Plan Propio" Fellowship) to design and fabricate devices at Tyndall National Institute (Ireland); a "Juan de la Cierva-Formación" fellowship to research thin materials at the Polytechnic University of Madrid in 2020; and a Marie Curie Global Individual Fellowship to lead a project (>€165k) focused on the fabrication and integration of 2D electronic devices in collaboration between the University of Granada (Spain) and NYCU in Taiwan. More recently, he has received funding for the C-ING-357-UGR23 project on 2D materials for CMOS cointegration (€18k). Dr. Márquez is a guest editor for a special issue of *Crystal MDPI* and organized a workshop at the international SISPAD 2022 conference. He also actively participates in outreach and science dissemination activities such as "Ventana a la Ciencia," "Science Week," and "European Researchers' Night," aiming to share scientific results with the public and inspire secondary school students. He has supervised one Ph.D. thesis, awarded with a Cum Laude distinction, and is currently co-supervising two doctoral students in the area of 2D materials.
